What are the most prestigious jobs?
I can tell you only what people claim are the most prestigious jobs. Here are the top five:
1. Scientist (really?)
2. Doctor
3. Firefighter
4. Teacher (really?)
5. Military officer
I have yet to cash in on the groupies. Here is the full list and story.
Being a lawyer, I suspect, is more prestigious than most people are willing to admit. The same is true for politician, athlete, or entertainer. Clergy comes in number eight, but I suspect its real prestige is lower. But I can believe what comes in last — real estate agent.
