I saw this e-mail in my Drafting Class and I found it quite interesting! This e-mail was sent from Kathy Freriks (department head of the technology program in my school) to all of the technology department and teachers therein. It reads:
The following is a list of professions ranked -- based on perceived prestige as determined via a survey conducted by the Harris Poll in 2003:
Scientist - 57%
Firefighter - 55%
Doctor - 52%
Teacher - 49%
Nurse - 47%
Military Officer - 46%
Police Officer - 42%
Priest/Minister/Clergyman - 38%
Congress Member - 30%
Engineer - 28%
Architect - 24%
Business Executive - 18%
Lawyer - 17%
Athlete - 17%
Union Leader - 15%
Journalist - 15%
Accountant - 15%
Banker - 14%
Actor - 13%
Stockbroker - 8%
I agreed with some things on this list and others not so much .. so I thought I'd have a poll of my own and ask you all whether you agree, disagree or don't really care. If you disagree tell me why and what would you change. If anyone finds another list such as this please post it ... I'd love to compare them.
*Sorry that I couldn't actually attach the e-mail for you to look at yourself (instead of having to believe what I wrote, which is true 
) but the e-mail had already been erased and this was a copy*
Have FUN!

I have to agree ... Dorienne Plait and I are quite a DUO in CD!!!
