What profession do you respect the most? 1

The poll is just added for silliness, just reply with your answer.
I think the profession I respect most are surgeons. A neurosurgeon, like an auto mechanic, has to understand the location, and function of many parts- only the surgeon has to know orders of magnitude more, and all the parts look identical. A trauma surgeon has virtually no time to prepare for procedures- your abilities are being tested under some of the most intense conditions imaginable- if you fail, someone dies. A surgeon of any kind must have absolutely incredible processing speed, memory, problem solving ability, dexterity, focus, and physical stamina.

STAL being probably the single dumbest tradition on this website aside, the poll is a joke anyway. every option is a different kind of STAL

I once witnessed a girl that had to chip the frozen piss out of the port-a-johns in the Canadian oil Sands in winter like -20C, 0F. Like taking a crowbar to chip the frozen piss off the walls and floor of the john. Mind you they were probably making $40-85 /hr, but still. Chipping frozen piss. There ain't enough money man. Those ice chips are shooting up in your face and all around you man.

I respect most professions (don't consider income through ownership to be a real profession as there's little labor involved), although I respect goons of the state less. People who work in health services, whether its mental health or surgeons or nurses all deserve a lot of respect, not just for the hard work they do but also for its altruistic value. I really respect many activists as well.
That poll made me sad though ha

They stop work at -35C, or maybe it was -40. Chipping frozen piss will never leave me though. When you piss and its that cold it isn't splash, it's just vapour that freezes on the sides of whatever is nearby. It gets fucking thick too. There were a lot of dudes using those shitters.

Got to tell you Morrow, I have seen no worse group than neurosurgeons. They are such smug dirtbags. Surgeons in general are much more smug than other doctors, but surgeons are literally the king of kings when it comes to douchey smugness.
Real answer though, maybe president? I mean they get paid well but you sell your anonymity, you get hit on by at least 20% of the population (guessing here) and you have to made huge decisions with even bigger consequences.

Oh, I know they're smug. I would be too. Especially neurosurgeons. For every neurosurgeon in existence, there are probably at least a dozen people walking around right now who would otherwise have been dead.
I think they know they deserve more respect than they actually get from most people. Yeah, they do get a good amount of respect, but not as much as they would if people truly understood how complex and difficult their job is.
Just my opinion, obviously I've never been a surgeon.

I don't see it that way. Yes, people "respect" surgeons, as in, they see it as a prestigious job.
But I am truly in awe of the work they do, and I don't think most people are. I don't think most people understand enough about it to be in a position to be in awe of surgery.

Canada is cold af like 8 months out of the year plus u have to live in a tar sand pit and chip piss icicles out of a shithouse. Great fishing tho. As far as the poll no STAL invalid. Also I really don't respect anyone on that list except for maybe the newspaper guy or ceo depending what they do/are about atleast professionally. movie critics are prob fine i just font respect them as a profession. Shroom mods are ok too I guess but get a real job u hippies.

How are you defining respect? Like widespread awe throughout the entire population? Because I am not sure I can think of many professions that get as much deep-hearted, sincere praise as neurosurgeons.
In many ways I think comedians are the least respected. Everybody hears comedy and thinks "eh, if I spent the time, I could make an hour special too". Nobody takes it seriously and I do not think it can be taught. Whereas with surgeons, nobody thinks they can just up and do surgery.

Good luck with that!
This week I had a tenant break the record for the biggest fucking-over I've EVER received in 15 years from a tenant. She called and said her furnace wasn't lighting. It was super old and the HVAC guy I called agreed that it was time for a new one. They replaced it, it wouldn't light, then they realized the gas company had shut the stupid bitch's gas off so I paid $4k to replace a working furnace. Of course she claimed to not know that it was off and supposedly had no idea why the gas would be off. If that was the only horrible thing to happen this week, it wouldn't be that bad but I digress...
Sorry, off topic, needed to vent...I'm out

Yea it didn’t make sense for me to pay more to upkeep a house that I was not living in. And the fuckers don’t care about the rental. It’s not theirs so why take care of it? You need to talk with the furnace guy. He did that on purpose.. get home shield.

I guess in my mind, that is just paying lip service and following social norms. It seems to me that most people aren't in a position to be able to actually respect surgeons. From my point of view you can only respect a thing if you grasp what it takes to do it. To me it seems like most people just think neurosurgeons are badasses because they hear other people saying neurosurgeons are badasses, movies depict them as badasses, etc. It's kind of like how everyone makes jokes about how lawyers are a bunch of dishonest vultures, but only a segment of the population actually understands why that joke is a thing.
After typing it I realize this definition of respect is more restrictive than the one most people probably mean by it.

I think people who work with children are some of the most critical in society. Children, in general, are not cared for properly, and we have tens of millions of miserable adults to show for it. Children matter most. But nobody wants to organize a protest in support of kids. Have you ever heard of a protest march against childhood neglect and abuse? Never.

out of the list i chose onlyfan girls, even though i'm gay. lets face it, prostitution/porn is the oldest industry in the world, yet slut is a word of shame, not respect. in the oldest days, sex was seen as a form of worship. now it's an act of shame, the body something to be covered up unless your temple is anything less than a near impossible standard. people aren't taught to appreciate their own sacred temple that carries them through life, to love their own bodies and treat them with respect and care.
so i salute those onlyfan girls and guys and all the other porn actors who carry on humanities oldest profession and remind us that sex is good and natural, that it's ok to embrace our physical desires. (as long as it's in a healthy and safe way of course! safe sex and healthy life balance in all things!) it's thanks to them and the internet at large that much of the world, especially areas like the US, have started to become more open about things like sexuality and more embracing about different lifestyles again - just like it should be.

In artificial insemination of cattle, they have a mock-up cow with spread vag for the bulls to mount. Inside that contraption is a guy who, despite the onslaught tries to catch the sperm in a sterilized beaker. I have a ton of respect for that guy.

Fire fighters are a pretty good one but they need to deal with there discrimination and sexual harrassment and alcoholism and stuff within the departments. Turns out we just started looking into it and there's like no women fire fighters theyre decades behind in this and the firehouses are essentially sexual harrassment/rape clubs. Its appenerntly a systemic thing.

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong I respect firefighters its just stuffs coming to light where I guess apparently they're decades behind on certain things and have been able to sweep it under the rug for wayy too long. Can't be doing that. Cops are a whole nother ball of wax.

Honest to God....nurses.
I've been in and out of the hospital a respectable amount of times over the past two years for problems due to IBS/Crohns Disease. The doctor/surgeon comes in, pokes you for 5 minutes, and bills you $750. It's always the nurses, though, who show that compassion and respect for what you're going through. I was in the hospital over Thanksgiving and the nurses were super short staffed. I tried to make them laugh every time they came in, and always was as cooperative as possible.
So yeah, maybe the doctor fixes your body, but the nurses help your soul when you're at your worst place. If you're nice they bring you a warm blanket and a coffee.

A good portion of surgeons seen like serious scumbag maniacs to me. Many are just really intelligent gifted people. Nurses are quite respectable but after alot of whining and tic tok videos during the pandemic and now realizing morrowasted is a nurse it makes me question alot of things.

Orthopedic bone surgeons. The work they do is insane. I know first hand. They have to use all kinds of drills and augers and screw drivers and sledge hammers and stuff. They have to be physically strong and tall like a construction worker. Takes a nearly a life time of commitment and money to get there

there are scumbags in every profession. some professions attract more scumbags than others but most of the scumbags in medicine go into things like endocrinology and pain management.
There are almost 4 million registered nurses in this country. Some of them are smart. Some of them are dumb. Any kind of person you can find in regular society, you can find in the nursing profession.
Same is true of doctors, actually, but not proportionally so. I saw a video of an anti-mask COVID-19 hoaxer medical doctor in Oregon recently.
All sorts of folks go crazy. Linus Pauling was a super brilliant scientist... until he just, you know... wasn't.

I'll throw one out the to the teachers. Constantly shit on and under resourced, but absolutely vital for keeping society running. Not a terribly difficult job when they just phone it in, but those that care (and a lot of them do) change lives.
Hows that bit go? "Hey we have a group of kids here, they're in the midst of puberty and sexual awakening, we need you to teach them math." "Do they want to learn math?" "Oh god no, not at all."

Sometimes it's really hard to find people with the most common profession skills, because everybody wants to be a "manager". By the way, if we talk about HR managers and their options how to invite new professional employees, it's always great to build a site, that will help with it. Here is a resource ( https://www.talenteria.com/ ), that I found recently, and it looks that they have developers, that can offer such websites for every HR manager.

The fact that this isn't the overwhelming answer speaks to how many people have never had their life saved by a surgeon. It doesn't matter they are sociopathic, they are literally flawless at something where mistakes result in a DEATH. Mad respect, gtfo of here with people who make you feel "warm" that is not the same as respecting the ability/profession someone can pull off. Even fireman get respect for their courage, but have little "true skill" that couldn't be replaced by someone else with a years training. That's what I respect, the fact that a good surgeon has a positive W-L record in terms of successful fatal situations, that's a winner right there. If you think a surgeon isn't the hardest job in the world (up there anyway) you probably think you could quarterback for an NFL team too

Many people respect doctors. Most don't realize how much more effort and difficulty it takes to become a neurosurgeon.

[Edit]
I gave an answer but I think there's a flaw in the premise...
Like the Native American drawing of animals in a circle, with humans just part of it, I think the correct view is to view all rather equally important.
I think this is why people chose garbage collector as one, as a way of balancing out the other answers.
All are important, some people view hairdressers as most important, and while others might consider them shallow for this, I don't because that's their view and it's valid.

For instance if you let the garbage pile up, civilization is over in a few weeks at best (garbage fills up the streets and houses, no one can drive, etc.)
Take away surgeons and humanity still goes forward, just less a few people.
(I'm not trying to hurt feelings here just giving an observation.)
Sanitation workers are vastly, vastly more essential to society as a whole and the quality of living.
And to the health.

Chemists.
Seriously though medical clinicians and other medical lab workers. I've seen multiple people put doctors, surgeons and nurses on pedestals in this thread, but without those lab results they wouldn't really be able to do shit. I lump these people under the chemist umbrella for what it's worth.

More seriously, ambulance EMT's and ER nurses who continuously have to deal with the worst of gore and gloom the city has to offer during their shift.
I know a selfadmitted adjusted sociopath who is one, his interest is in the gore itself and how to make the best of a completely FUBAR situation - he is emotionally unhindered by bone fragments sticking out or patients dying, other than his personal ambition to be the fucking best at patching up the impossible and have the lowest rate of personal failure (patients coming to harm on his shift) so, completely not humanitarian but driven by pure ambition to be the best in making the most of it.
If they have that kind of mindset thats an ideal spot to have an adjusted, personally ambitious sociopath working, bacause they will be unhindered by distracting emotion when everybody else half loses it because how bad the case is.
His bedside manner is probably atrocious but who the fuck cares as long as he just patched you up like no one else working there can.
He once told me he just had "an interesting chainsaw accident" and I was like "interesting?!" and he said: "yeah he had hit his leg, it was a huge mess and there wasn't a straightforward way of fixing him up."
Hey, since his ambition is being the best at fixing it, his fascination with RL gore and absence of intruding emotion makes him a Good Terminator of putting people's bodies together again.
