Thread Name: BS: Occupations or people? Dishonorable?
Subject: RE: BS: Occupations or people? Dishonorable?
I don't want to appear that I am whining, but I find it to be curious when people make a judgment of someone because of their profession. I have many attorneys as patients, some terrific folks some jerks.

Once I took a job as a salesman, selling fundraising to service clubs and school groups. I was young, innocent, green ,and very timid about making my first few sales contacts. The first three I chose were pastors. That day, I found out that just because a person preaches Christianity does not mean they follow all of the tenants they preach. These three guys were perfect jerks. Same with people in my profession. Sometimes I wince at the lack of compassion some dentists seem to have, but I also know lots of them who go above and beyond trying their best to help as many people every day that they can.
