High calling
Christian Century, Jan 23, 2007
HIGH CALLING: When Harris Interactive took its annual poll in 2006 measuring the prestige granted different professions, the top three were firefighters, doctors and nurses. Clergy came in eighth, behind scientists, teachers, military officers and police officers. Ministers have declined in prestige only 1 percentage point since 1977, when the survey began.
Firefighters weren't even included in the survey before 2003 (Calling, Winter).
