FAST COMPANY: TOP JOBS FOR 2005

I know we'll all be disappointed to learn that prospect research didn't make the list of the top jobs for 2005, but we can console ourselves by mining our databases to see how many of our prospects work for these top-drawer professions.

Fast Company compiled data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Salary.com and added the insight of "innovation expert" Kevin Stolarick to rank each position for job growth, salary potential, education level and room for innovation. They've also profiled people who are currently in these professions, including a stem cell researcher at Harvard, a software development manager for Wal-Mart and an intellectual property attorney for Microsoft.

BUSINESS 2.0: THE 101 DUMBEST MOMENTS IN BUSINESS

Business 2.0's fifth annual review of personal and corporate misdeeds is entertaining as well as enlightening. Unfortunately, only the top 30 moments are available to non-subscribers. Categories such as Grand Prize Winners, Companies, People and Quotes are also restricted. The archives for 2004 are not available, but you can view the first page of the 2003 list.

There's also The Smart List, in which Business 2.0 tips its hat to the "brightest minds in business and the miraculous feats they've accomplished." Included is an interview with Toyota CEO Fujio Cho. Some articles are restricted beyond the first page.

THE SOUND'S WEALTHIEST ZIP CODES

Seattle-area readers have probably already seen this, but for the rest of us, the Puget Sound Business Journal explores issues of wealth and residence in the area. The top zip code isn't hard to guess: Bill Gate's 98039.
