Now this is art I can get behind.   I wouldn’t mind something like this decorating my house.  (^_^);;  Too bad their site is so broken and I’m not seemingly able to purchase any artwork.

“Crossing Over” by Denise Chavez, from 2008’s i am 8-bit exhibition. That poor Fygar — above ground, he could have had a lovely existence walking around with a fishing pole, changing sweaters occasionally, and picking up the word “d-d-dude” from his neighbor, Cube.

But the terrible economy forced him to make his life underground, away from the omnipresent Tom Nook, where he was murdered with a bicycle pump.

Yes, “IT Worker” IS ACTUALLY on the list. These are dirty jobs and somebody has to do them. At least they get paid for it.  Also includes: crab fisherman, roughneck, gastroenterologist, security in Iraq, trucker, crop duster pilot, toll collector, embalmer, and many more high paying jobs you probably don’t want.

IT Worker

Average pay: $103,400 (Salary.com)

Information technology is a high-demand field—and a demanding one. One survey this year rated IT as the most stressful profession. Four out of five IT workers said they feel stressed before they even get to the office, just thinking about spending another day on the phone with laymen, explaining where to find their computers’ off buttons.

Their description isn’t exactly accurate though, IT Worker is awfully vague and their description sounds like a helpdesk position, which shouldn’t make anywhere close to 100k.  It is interesting that my profession is grouped together with Sewer Inspectors and Crime-Scene Cleaners.
