Doctor = god complex
Teacher = those who can't do
Police/Law Enforcement = control freak/ditto
Fire Fighters/Paramedics = firebug/son of god complex
Hookers (by request) = knocked banker off the list
Scientists = ultimately cause more problems than solve
Armed Forces = ignorant tool of The Man
Lawyer (back by popular demand) = leech
I bet that if Pure Finder was added it would dominate.

Doctor, teacher, and law enforcement all come to mind. The only reason I wouldn't pick doctor is because such a huge salary comes with it. Not that they don't deserve it, but it means people could become a doctor for the pay instead of the cause. That isn't true of the other two.
That's rather irrelevent today. The ave doctor doesn't make nearly as much money as they are perceived to, esp considering the state of Health Care today compared to the past. Malpractice insurance drains the majority of their income. Also, consider that a skilled surgeon works an ave of 70 hours per week (residents, interns).
No one goes into medicine these days b/c of salary. If they do...then they're deluding themselves...
Not sure what you mean by pharmacist being a "top" occupation. As far as job availability or respect or pay?... but I know a lot of pharmacists and they will tell you this:Originally posted by: Lothar
As of now(2006), Nurses are #1, Pharmacists #2, and Veterinarians #3.
Since 2000, Nurses have been #1 in all but one year - in 2001 - when firefighters received the highest ranking following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Pharmacists have been among the Top 3 most occupational groups for the past 27 years straight.

Agreed. 3 months ago, I went to see the Doctor to get a vaccine shots and I got charged $900 for the visit. WTF? WTF??? $900 for the visit???? Thank god for the health insurance because I would have blew up if I had to pay $900 for a doctor visit when all he did was ask me a few question and had the nurse take my blood pressure.

i can't believe so many of you voted for doctors. doctors are leeches to society and THEY are the cause of such high healthcare costs. The doctor's union, aka the AMA, artificially keeps the supply of doctors LOW by restricting the number of medical schools in order to protect their careers.
Doctors throughout history have made humans worse off, and it is only recently that advances in medical technology that we are able to fix our bodies and extend our lives. very very few doctors have anything to do with these advancements. Most of the advancements are from Chemical Engineers and Research scientists who invent new fascinating drugs and Surgeons and Inventors that invent machines that do extraordinary work. And it's the entrepreneur and investor that conducts the orchestra and organizes the structure that allows new advances in technology to be introduced to society.
Doctors are nothing but wannabe-gods who are no better than the Teamsters and UAW workers that are failing America. So please take doctor off the list. If anything, replace him with Surgeon or Chemical Engineer.

Wow, where'd you obtain your degree from? Your school seems to have had some funny ideas about history, education, science, and economics.
I don't suppose your entrepreneurs running the managed healthcare companies with their billions in salaries/bonuses have anything to do with the "cause of such high healthcare costs." I'd gladly trade in the $200,000 & 12 years of training I spent to become a "wannabe-god" in order to be held in such high esteem as your entrepreneurs and investors.
The next time you happen to become seriously ill, feel free to consult your local Chemical Engineer while my colleagues and I remain hard at work continuing our efforts to make "humans worse off." Sheesh.
BTW, I vote Teacher.

1. Basically pharmacists are professional insurance specialist b/c all they do is sort out peoples insurance all day long.
2. Computers can do the job of a pharmacist way better, when it comes to detecting contraindications and cross reactivities.
Sure pharmacists can "counsel you" but when was the last time one did? When I go to the pharmacist I get "counseled" by a 16 year old kid reading off the paper he is about to give me which I could read myself.
