Estate agents -- When your selling they tell you your price is too high but when your buying your price is always too low. I suspect they are fiddling both sides.

Has to be sales people in general, not the sort of individuals I generally would want to associate with.

That seems to be your own definition of professional. It excludes anybody with a degree up to PHD who hasn't done a course after college, but not some one with a mickey mouse post graduate assessment exam.

Seems to be an Irish thing to get the usual suspects - the law, accountancy into the "professional" rank while excluding real work like engineering. It might even exclude GPs. Each to their own, I suppose, but its a dumb definition, and your own.

Not exactly, call me archaic if you will but I prefer proper and accurate definitions not just any tom dick and harry thinking they can call themselves whatever they please.

Ridiculous to tar all people within a given profession with the same brush but if I was to pick one, in my experience alot of Irish university administration staff can be real assh*les!

Have to say that some barmen can be fairly obnoxious.
You would honestly swear that we were asking them to give us drink for nothing sometimes.

Still don't understand your argument. Basically you are saying someone with an engineering degree isn't an engineer unless he does a post-graduate mickey mouse course. I think it's something to do with the fact that the cartel rote-learning professions in Ireland control their inputs with post graduate training and apprentice program's for their little in group mob of the not very smarts.

Have to with Estate Agents for me.

Seen so many places when looking in Dublin, rooms in the sunlight deprived basements of building blocks, old granny apartments that stink of piss, lets with paper thin walls, single glazed glass, furniture from the 70s. And yet the estate agent is standing there with a smiling poker face saying what a lovely location it is in and how they've had so many calls about the place. In reality squatters wouldn't even live there.

Yes really. He was only a new guy. He was making everyone go in before they filled up. I went in to pay he made me go back out and get my I'd come back in and pay then go back out to fill up.

I would have just went somewhere else but I was on empty. Don't go there any more!

Smarmy sales people. I'd be more likely to listen to them if they did away with all the fake, transparent crap.

I'm not making an argument I thought that was your position?
I don't see where you got this "Basically you are saying someone with an engineering degree isn't an engineer unless he does a post-graduate mickey mouse course." from. An engineer is an engineer, what's the problem?

As for the rote learning professions you mention? Care to mention one? and what's your problem with rote learning? I'd associate rote learning with the leaving certificate and IT workers more so than any other job.

estate agents - pure unadulterated vermin

No profession pisses me off to be honest. Theres obviously an asshole or two in every profession but that doesn't mean I'll paint them all with the same brush because of one or two bad experiences.

I don't get why bouncers are labeled as assholes either. I've been refused entry before and honestly they were right because I was too drunk. In the vast majority of cases their reason for refusing entry/kicking someone out is totally justified IMO. They make clubs and pubs a better experience for other people.

Their job essentially is to critique things they're clearly unable to do themselves, which really is pathetic. Especially film critics.

Yea, I hate them as well, especially that fool George Byrne. All smug and smarmy when he's on Newstalk with Tom Dunne licking his ass agreeing with everything he says. The fool works for the Herald. Enough said.

Teachers - they expect us to scrape and bow before them , overpaid and underworked , impossible to sack and use the '' won't someone think of the children '' argument every time they look for more money.

I can't think of a more self-serving bunch.

Disagree, it's not exactly a barrel of laughs having to deal with 30-40 immature kids every day.

I can remember myself what some of our secondary school teachers had to put up with.

Hardly a profession, but interior designers. Usually an idea pounced upon by ladies of a certain background poised somewhere between a barely scraped arts degree and moving from daddy's wallet to hubby's where she'll convince herself she can write childrens books in between long lunches with orange botoxed mates.
