A lot of professions. Aside from the basic ones like civil service jobs, I think the food industry is pretty deserving of respect. They put up with a lot of crap.

I put up with a lot of crap, literally.

I work at as a Waste Water / Water Treatment Plant Operator. Simply put, I work at a sewer and water treatment plant(s). Without me and the others like me, normal daily life would be much different if not radically changed.

Of course, most times we work behind the scenes with little to no recognition. About the only time people realize we exist is when their faucets are empty or their sewer stops working.

Why should I respect someone who gets paid millions of dollars to entertain people?



Because they're better then you at some thing that you will never be good at it.

So do a lot of people. Just because they can do something I can't doesn't mean I have to respect them.


I don't even care for sports/athletes but I think you're just butt hurt. Soccer for example is like a huge cultural thing for a lot of people and they deserve to get paid.

Although a lot horrible athletes ( like the Jet's QB ) are over paid.

Let's all just be happy! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay!

Chefs and cooks. They put up with SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much -blam!- from prudish, stuck up people. My mum is a cook, and she absolutely hates her job because of how stressful it is.

I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted.

soldiers because no other profession has people that give up the greatest sacrifice of all for the greater good, their lives.

Seriously? he isn't butt hurt, he has a point; they get paid millions to run around doing something that the rest of us do for fun. they essentailly are richer than us, because they're good at a pass time.

What you mentioned, plus charity workers and volunteers. Not necessarily "professions", I suppose, but close enough and definitely deserving respect.

The thread title is "MOST worth of respect". Athletes do little that deserve respect, unless they're doing philanthropic ventures outside of their game.
