Not Prestigious at All
Apparently, being a real estate agent is not prestigious at all. Of course none of my previous jobs were mentioned; I’m confident that real estate agent would rank above busboy, gardener, bartender, and bureaucrat.
From now on I’m just going to call myself a real estate developer. I’ll be happy if that puts me above union leader.
What I don’t understand is how anyone thinks that being a farmer is ‘prestigious.’ I mean, when was the last time you heard someone say “oh my son, we’re so proud, he was going to be a doctor or an engineer but he decided to be a farmer instead!”
I can easily see why being a farmer is considered “prestigious,” although respected might be a better term. Farmers are considered honest and hardworking.
Prestige also isn’t just about earnings, firefighter is at the top of the list.
That is just a telephone poll, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Danielle hit the nail right on the head. And you are a dummy. Real estate agent = used car salesman.
