According to CNN and careerbuilder.com, not unless you are a Firefighter, Teacher, or Scientist.

Weep amongst yourselves at your lack of excellence in the workplace. Personally, Teaching isn't what I would call prestigious.. Especially with a few teachers at my school..

discuss about how you feel your job affects the public/world.

I think they link prestigious with something that directly benefits society ... me? no I'm an insturment of cash mongering.

Do you have a Doctorate in a form of science? If not, then no

Hold the phone! Flipping bugers between Econ and Calculus isn't "prestigious"? I think CNN needs to rethink their "prestigious" rating.

HAH! I'm considered "very prestigious" by 52% of those polled! I pwn all you buttholes!

what about doctors? thats a fairly prestigious job, no?

And as far as some jobs "helping people" what other jobs are there? Technically all jobs help people, otherwise the job wouldn't exist.

Doctors are at 52% for "very prestigious".

Heh, supposedly my job is more prestigious than being an architect or a lawyer. Automating your entire workload and designing and implementing methods aimed at giving you the least amount of actual work to do is apparently full of prestige.

Fuck, I guess I won't be prestigious when I'm finally a lawyer in a year. At least I'll make more money

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}
