What are the most respectable, good paying professions?

I'd say almost anything in health care..Then again I'm becoming a RN so I'm a little bias..LOL

A survey of Americans ran in 2004 said that the most respected professions in the US are Doctor, Professor, and Theologian.

And 2/3s of those pay well.

Nurse,Doctor,Teacher(not great but you can usually get a job), anything in healthcare field if the truth be told.

becoming a doctor or a sicentist to help discover cures for alot of dieseases that are out there.A lawyer to help put away criminals.

Usually respectability and pay are inversely proportional.

Those generally considered as both are:

Doctor
Information Technology

Generally the best profession is the on that involves doing what you enjoy on a daily basis.

Those run by HONEST and FAIR MINDED people.

Look at professions that are NEEDED universally.
Generally they are providing either a service or a product that EVERYONE needs or uses.

Usually the more something is needed by the general population, the more money flow is involved...it can be either LARGE individual sums...such as Medical, Auto repairs...or smaller but many, frequent amounts spent.

Personally I don't care WHAT a professional does for a living...but how they CONDUCT their business. A fair and reasonable employer PAYS his or her employees fairly because they understand and acknowledge that the employees CONTRIBUTE greatly to the overall success of the company!

So to ME, a Respectable and Good Paying Professional SHARES THE WEALTH, AND the CREDIT for the SUCCESS. They also make a point of SUPPORTING their employees in DOING the best possible job for the company.

They work WITH employees to create optimum circumstances to overcome challenges in the work place and treat them as human beings who WORK TO LIVE...not who LIVE TO WORK!

Prostitution..I give my ho's plenty of respect and I let them keep half of what they make w/Mondays off!
