well i don't think that there are any surprises there to be honest ...

Advertising practitioners lol...that's what i am taking in school!

I can't complain too much since I'm a nurse and I'd like to think I'm ethical and honest. My husband was pretty annoyed that doctors weren't number 2 (he's a med student). hah hah!
I do think the rankings are more about which professions people think "should be honest and ethical" rather than which ones they think actually are.

Where are scientists?

i find it interesting the specifically high schoool teachers are, where are elementary teachers? they aren't as ethical? Hmmm

I'm on the dishonest list.

I agree with psychobabble about the methodology. This seems to be based on the public's opinion of the professions, not on actual facts. So yeah, everything here seems to fit the stereotype. It is very interesting though that the public has significantly changed their opinions on bankers over the past year.

I'm in the medical microbiology field and we're all about ethics. I mean, if there is even one little tiny error, we do everything we can to fix it.

I was a telemarketer BRIEFLY and I actually quit because of the ethical dilemma I faced. Seriously, we were encouraged to get money out of people that were terminally ill, in nursing homes, facing foreclosure/bankruptcy, etc. We literally HAD to ask for money 3 separate times before we were allowed to hang up. It was so uncomfortable and I just couldn't do it.

On a related note...where are "debt collectors" on the unethical list?

I dunno, I bet funeral directors are a shady bunch. There's probably lots of jewelry to be stolen.

yayyyyy im #2 on the honest list lol

I'm a lawyer and I am UBER ethical (I know this list is about the whole, but still ). I disclose ALL information to opposing counsel and to the court. My plan is to never have contact w the attorney grievance committee

I'm surprised funeral directions are on the honest list... I always thought the 'sterotype' (for lack of a better word) was that they tried to suck greiving family dry.

I'm surprised that accountants made the "most ethical and honest list", considering that a lot of the company corruption I've seen was because people were cooking the books...hello Enron?

Woohoo!

woo hoo! nurses!!! =)

Coming from a family of prominent and intelligent attorneys, I have to disagree with the lawyers entry. Yes I know there are those ambulance-chasers out there, but not all attorneys are crooks. In fact, many of them are extremely hard-working, loyal, and honest.

I shall not tell a lie...

In the unethical list. This list doesn't surprise me, though.

Not too shocked...
