A new Gallup Poll on the trustworthiness of various professionals shows real estate agents in the middle of the occupations cited - well below doctors and teachers but still above members of Congress and lawyers.

Here is how the occupations rated when consumers were asked which professions had "high" or "very high" ethical standards.
1. Pharmacists, 84 percent.
2. Medical doctors, 73 percent.
3. High school teachers, 70.
4. Police officers, 54.
5. Clergy, 52.
6. Funeral directors, 44.
7. Accountants, 43.
8. Building contractors, 26.
9. Journalists, 26.
10. Real estate agent, 25.
11. Bankers, 20.
12. Lawyers, 19.
13. Business executives, 18.
14. Labor union leaders, 18.
15. Stockbrokers, 12.
16. Advertising executives, 11.
17. Telemarketers, 8.
18. Car salespeople, 7.
19. Lobbyists, 7.
20. Members of Congress, 7.

Funny, I thought that the clergy would have been lower.
It is interesting that labor union leaders and business executives are tied

With exception to #1 and 2 you realize that you go lower the pay is higher, right?

What is this world coming to

I noticed that too. The world has been that way since the dawn of money.

I think it's funny that lawyers are so low, considering how stringent their professional standards and ethics are.
