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.

NO STAL.
I respect all working class members equally. Fuck the landlords.

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.

being that the poll is ironic in nature, I imagine the most commonly chosen option actually represents the least respected profession

It's only for 6 months a year.
But really it's only like 3 that you can expect sub 0F degrees.

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.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
More respect? They get worshiped by family ALL THE TIME!
Fuck smug people. We are all human. Humility is essential to existence and being a good human. Maybe the most important characteristic there is.

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.
