[LM_NET] SHARE: Teachers Rank 2nd

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

A recent Harris Poll shows that firefighters, scientists and teachers
are seen as the most prestigious occupations by U.S. adults, while
bankers, actors and real estate agents are the least prestigious
occupations.

The occupation of "teaching" has risen 25 points (from 29% to 54%
since 1977) while scientists have fallen 12 points (from 66% to 54%).
Firefighters are seen as the "most prestigious" occupation (with 61%)
among adults.

[This Harris Poll was taken between July 10-16, 2007....obviously,
parents responding to the poll are trying to endure "summer vacation"
with their "lovely children" ....and are now realizing how much they
take for granted those individuals who spend the rest of the year with
their "little darlings!"  Now...if we could just get those teachers'
salaries at the TOP of the list!!] *grin*
