That's an old Friends joke.

I suppose that most gynaecology is for the young. Nevertheless I wouldn't be too enthused about it either way.

Although I would call it an unskilled trade, not a profession.
What they call a job, most people do on their way to a real job.

You can't compare a taxi driver to a train driver or pilot :rolleyes:

It's an unskilled and uneducated job.

Taxi drivers might get some respect if they actually drove politely, didn't speed or aggressively cut into lanes, used their indicators and didn't do u-turns wherever they felt like.

In most countries taxi driving is a low paid job for the lower classes.
Only the history of taxi regulation has over inflated their fares.

They seem to think they deserve a better wage for what is in effect a fall back job open to practically everyone in the country.

Father Damo

Chuggers. Or to be more specific, the people who run the agencies that provide chuggers. Scum at the top who earn a mssive annual personal cut from charity donations are a lower form of rat than the Roma with their fake charity collection forms.

And, even though I am neither severely pro choice nor strongly anti abortion....I am more each individual case on its merits.....I still cant fathom how the hell an abortion doctor can live with themselves.

The only time I ever agreed with Mr Burns-

'Before you begin, let me make one thing clear to you. I want your legal advice, I even pay for it. But to me you're all vipers! You live on personal injury, you live on divorces, you live on pain and misery!'

As do doctors and undertakers. Some professions are mostly there to be used when something goes wrong in life.

I despise drug dealers. I know it isn't a legal 'profession', but for the big, highly organised dealers it's a way to make a mint. I don't know how they can live with themselves.

I can't think of any professions I actually hate but in terms of skilled, semi skilled and unskilled workers:

Plasterers, Nail Technicians, Childcare workers, Dj's, Estate Agents, Majority of Civil Servants, Majority of IT thingy's, HR & Mods.

christmas2012

footballers,estate agents/auctioneers,lawyers/solicitors,car sales men,telesales people on phones,general socialites(if you call that a job),pr people,personal assistants,social workers,know it all psychologists, the usual hate list youll find here i think..

Pat Mustard

The medical profession is a noble and beneficent profession. As a society, we would be in a bad way without doctors.

But I hate the type of people who become doctors, and I’ve known lots of them.

Some of them are okay.

However, in my experience, they are mainly comprised of tight-fisted, arrogant nerds with a massive sense of entitlement.

They talk shop all the time.
The younger ones steal alcohol and food from housemates - or from strangers at parties.
They park in your space/ block your car.
They think that their crap old 3 series BMW is a babe magnet.
They think they are god.
They think that there is a doctor discount by short-changing others at dinner out.
They dodge rounds.
They have an allergy to parting with money, so other people can pay.

If you can get over all that, they’re grand. Cos they’re great craic.:rolleyes:

I work in IT and it's a profession.

Is there some kind of weird snob thing going on where the "professions" are lawyers and doctors? To my mind a profession is any career.

Health care managers with no clinical experience, or even worse those who do have have clinical knowlegde but just ignore the impact that decisions have on clients.

It's a skilled job imo, unless you only work in a certain area under supervision then you're semi skilled.

It's not a snob thing, I just wouldn't class the likes of a mechanic as a professional, would you?

True. I still think lawyers are a profiteering cartel of scumbags however. Look at this for example.

That fair enough, one I found hard was having a union issue at work, we all sat down with the union rep and told him what we wanted said to senior management, the union rep states “I can't say that I'm friends with these people".

You can still be friend friends with someone you are arguing against, you don't however, let that friendship affect your argument.

Especially the bogger ones called Mairead, Sile or Mags who are all holier than thou and smug wenches who thin they are God's gift.

And then they marry an equally smug pasty faced Garda from the Mudlands.

Also that Ryanair tosspost at Faro airport. Standing there just before you board the plane, making you put your bag into the metal cage. Even when it fits in he says "No, you have to pay more money or you don't board"

Many things inflate fares. If insurance wasn't compulsory and tax so expensive you could have a €500 banger sitting in the drive and it would be more financially viable than one taxi trip a fortnight.
