A profession that commands true respect.

Yes i think teachers are one of the most truly respected profession. But every one deserve a respect from anyone, whether he just a business tycoon or just a garbage man. doing your job well can earn you respect.

trying to touch base with everyone as have been offline due to a fried ADSL modem. Whatever profession a person has they should always remember that they had a treacher who taught them to read and write and reason. Blessings

I feel Doctors are the most respected lot, if instead of using their profession for earning a lot they truly serve the patients then they are respected as Gods. The way good doctors are respected so is the case with good teachers. Some of the teachers do not teach their students sincerely so they are not respected but those who do justice to the profession are respected a lot.

The most respected profession...wow, this one is making me think! I honestly don't think teachers are very respected anymore. The reason why I think this is parents aren't going out of their ways to thank them any longer, and some teachers simply don't do the job right. I'm 20 years old, so high school isn't that far behind me. In high school, I was the only one I knew who brought gifts to my teachers for holidays and at the end of classes because I was thanking them. And when I did do that, everyone else looked at me like, "What is she doing?!" I read that someone mentioned doctors, and I don't really agree with this either. Many patients butt heads with the doctors because they want certain tests done that the doctor says they don't need...they want this or that medication but the doctor says it would be risky...people flock to doctors but then don't want to take their advice. In my opinion, I respect everyone who works in customer service the most, because you have to deal with so many rude and nasty people when you work in that field. And if you do the job right and with a smile, WOW you must be a good human being! It is a job with low to no respect from nearly everyone you meet, low to no benefits, hardly any pay, and you never get thanks. Yet, millions of people are employed in this profession. From a societal point of view, I keep thinking of people who take care of senior citizens and do it right, because that is rare and they are doing a job family members usually do. People that run shelters, whether for people or animals. Soldiers get a lot of respect as well, just for being soldiers and wearing their attire. I can't stop on just one, but maybe I've thrown a few ideas out there. :)
