Church leaders 33%?

I wouldn't have thought our chruch leaders were extreme enough to be so low.

Like in any profession, it takes the actions of a few to spoil efforts of the many... regardless of the faith/denomination/background one is a member of.

If you look at it like that, more people trust their kids with
anything above "Daycare", and less with anybody below it.
Which is probably true

Now wouldn't it be nice if salaries were based on this sort of data?

Hehe...looks like you are doing just fine from your profile!

Journalists? I think they meant media people. 31 percenters. How low can you go?

Financial advisers 34 %

I know one. That may be too high of a rating.

From the looks of the result, people tend to trust those that "Keep them safe". Where as distrust seems to increase with those who take money from them for repairs (mechanics, plumbers, electricians). I find from my experience working in the mechanic industry, people tend to not believe that THEIR car, pipes, wires couldn't possibly be broken. Then we have those who generally work on commission; Certain Lawyers, Car Salespersons, Telemarketers, and the like.

Firefighters and paramedics have held the top two positions on the Reader's Digest Canada poll for years.
Postmedia - Global News did not include them in their poll, but I expect they would have placed well there also.

Oh sure.

If a lawyer screws up, in Canada they can't even get their client killed.

If a doctor screws up, he can only kill patients one at at time.

If an engineer screws up, he has the potential of killing 100's at a time.

But no pressure.
