Want a prestigious person in your ad? Try a firefighter. In a Harris Poll last month that asked respondents to rate the prestige of nearly two dozen occupations, firefighter got the highest “very great prestige” vote, at 57 percent. Close behind were scientist (56 percent), doctor (53 percent), nurse (52 percent) and teacher (52 percent). Filling out the top 10: military officer (46 percent), police officer (46 percent), farmer (41 percent), priest/minister/clergy (40 percent) and engineer (40 percent).
At rock bottom in the poll’s prestige standings was real estate agent/broker, with just 6 percent of respondents saying this profession holds very great prestige.
