    This is a list of professions. I want to know which group(s) of people, if any, you would distrust when you receive advice from them. You can select more than one.

    This is NOT a public poll. Your choices are hidden.

    EDIT: Note Priests should be +21 votes on average as it was added late. See post 56.

    Crap. Double "Politicians". One of those should be "Priests"

    Urgh nutritionists and alternative therapists. And journalists, because they write about nutritionists and alternative therapists.

    Yeah priests should be there instead of politicians twice. Can't edit it now.

    Problem being their routines are built on trust so you never know you don't trust them until after.

    Now, I have this lovely violin, I will sell it to you for a thousand euro, you are GUARANTEED to make at least 10 million off it!

    Not it's not. Nutritionists and alternative therapists are not professionals.

    There should have been a box for us Irish. There is no nationality as two-faced, hypocritical, arse licking back stabbing 8astards like the Irish

    How do you figure that?

    From that list, I'd just go for journalists and alternative therapists.

    The rest I have either never had any bad encounters with. Politicians have to be dishonest; an honest politician would never get elected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg

    You don't need any qualification to be a Nutritionist or Alternative therapist. Anybody can call themselves one.

    Recruitment??

    people that tuck their pants into their socks who try to sell you holly at xmas or a lovely watch in a box on the street!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,051 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    I was surprised not to see recruitment consultants/Agencies not featured on the list to choose from. Based on numerous posting throughout boards.ie they surely rank above Politicians. Developers should also probably feature.

    Kind of surprised Journalists are getting lots of Votes (I'm not one) but there about all we can depend on at the moment.
