We all know that doctors and scientists are at the top when it comes to occupational prestige, but what is the lowest of the low?

By the way, I am not saying any of these jobs ARE indeed low, but most of them have bad reputations. So, if there's a lawyer or auto mechanic reading this poll, please don't take offense!
 
newspaper delivery, cleaners, fast food worker, security guard...all low prestige. I worked 3 out of the 4 (never could do fast food) before the age of 19. Hard living. Especially for the old people with families.
 
wouldn't it be a miner? who goes lower than underground
 
Anyone doing their job honestly and well deserves respect. We all should try to avoid the stereotyping this sort of exercise tempts us into. Try doing without any of these jobs.

Besides, Billboard salesman's not on the list.
 
Janitor, Garbage man, fast food worker, all shouldn't be on there, these aren't people that rip you off, they are people working for a living.

Real estate agents and any insurance saleman trying to sell you insurance you don't need. As for garbage men, see how important they are when they strike and your garbage piles up.

Even a debt collector is necessary, the people he's collecting from are usually scum.
 
Anyone who works an honest job to make an honest living is worthy of respect. If it pays their bills and feeds their family and puts a roof over their heads I totally respect them regardless of their field of employment. The work may be hard or dirty or unrewarding (except for their paycheck) but they can hold their head up proudly as far as I'm concerned.

Notice though I said honest - if on the other hand they are lying, cheating, swindling, thieving etc, then all bets are off. For example an honest used car salesman is worthy of respect (and yes they do exist), but a cutthroat, ripp-off scammer is lower than pond scum. Do you understand the difference?

Naturally, this also works in reverse. A CEO of a company may live in a mansion, drive a Mercedes, own a yacht, sit on the board of several companies, but if they are ripping off their employees, swindling their stockholders and gouging their customers, they are also the lowest of the low.

It's not about the field of work you are in or your relative position in the heirarchy, it's about your work ethic and morals.

Very well put. I respect a hard-working telemarketer who is doing their darndest to make a living more than a shady doctor who is in it for the money and couldn't care less about his/her patients.

However, the intent of this poll is to see what others think is the worst occupation. Whether we like it or not, people judge us by what we do after all...
 
I voted for telemarketer because they are a fucking pain in the ass. Calling me at home and trying to push their shit on me. I only say, I'm not interested once, then it's fuck off asshole and I wait for their response. Usually they hang up.
 
None of the above...........Not everyone will be a doctor or a minister.

The question is best answered by the lowest is the person who never applies themselves or takes no pride in their work.
 
LOWEST EVER??????
