Most admired profession

The profession with the greatest prestige is ....Firefighting. 

Doctors second; nurses, third.

Business executives. stockbrokers and real estate agents vie for the bottom.

Results from the Harris Poll.

We admire firefighters for their bravery and their duty to risk their lives to save everyone imperiled; doctors and nurses for their care when we are the most vulnerable.  We know they are not looking to make money from us, but see us as the pitiable human creatures we are  - and help us anyway.
