Why software engineer is officially America's best job

Although you may not realise it, dear coder, you apparently have the best job in America. At least that's what the newly published 2012 Jobs Rated Report reckons. The CareerCast research shows that for the second year running the best job in the US is a software engineer. Not surprisingly the demand for programmers is expected to rise by as much as 30% over the next eight years according to the report authors, a rate of increase much steeper than the average for any other occupation.
