Dictionary of Occupational Titles

School-leavers still undecided about their career options should check out the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) from the US Dept. of Labor, which I happened upon earlier today. And I thought being a dodgy-book publisher was exciting! Just check out the following:
