Among India’s most trusted professions, teachers are at the top, followed rather surprisingly by firefighters and farmers follow at number three.

Scientists and members of the armed forces share fourth position, with doctors at sixth, pilots at seventh, pilots at seventh, surgeons at eighth, nurses at ninth and engineers at 10th.

At the bottom end of the scale of 40 most trusted professions are religious leaders (35), lawyers (36), police officers (37), government officials (38), realtors (39) and politicians (40).

"The survey was conducted online by market research firm Digital Edge that sent out 5,000 invitations, with 761 people responding by the cutoff date," Digest editor Mohan Sivanandan said.

"The survey covered 30 cities, with two-thirds of the respondents being under 35, possessing a bachelor’s degree and three-fourth’s male," he added.

Given this, Sivanandan has added a caveat in his editorial in the Digest.

"Although we cannot claim this survey to be absolutely scientific, you’ll agree with me that the overall results mirror public perceptions fairly accurately. Equally interesting are the views and explanations from experts. On a personal note, I don’t have cause to rejoice, because journalists are ranked 30th among 40 professions, just below plumbers," the editorial says.

Thus, the survey has more than its share of surprises, with cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni ranked at 42nd, way below shooter Abhinav Bindra (25th), while tennis star Sania Mirza is at 81st.

The respondents gave a massive thumbs down to politicians and sports administrators.( read article at manoramaonline)
