The most trusted occupations

[Pocket STocker]

The people and professions we trust the most from Reader Digest for 2014 

I think we have some members that find themselves on this list 

 
 
MOST TRUSTED PROFESSIONS
Throughout the past year paramedic organisations in various parts of Australia have reported their members increasingly coming under attack by the very people they are trying to help. But for our respondents there is no question: they are the most trusted of all the professionals – just ahead of those other ever-reliables, firefighters. “They do a superb job under a great deal of pressure,” said one person, while many others put it even more simply: “your life is in their hands”.

Been a few of those.  Going backwards in the ratings!  Time to retire.
Where are retirees on that scale?  The top is taken, so I guess I've got further to slip...

To be fair... the people rating 1 and 4 are probably in no fit condition to be rating anything
