Well, look on the bright side. All you wannabe stock gurus/day traders back during the NASDQ bubble who jumped on to the real estate get-rich-quick bandwagon after the stock bubble bust did manage to improve your prestige by 1%. What's it going to be next? Give us a heads-up, will 'ya?

This thing seems really wacked/skewed compared to general public perception reflected in the media. I think people in this survey confused "prestigious" with "honorable". Two distinctly different things.

Isn't that funny, my husband is at the top of the list as a Fireman, and I'm the dreaded Real Estate Broker at the bottom of the list.
We need my income to cover our mortgage to live in Marin. Does that mean that I'm pushed up a few notches because I'm married to such an "honorable" person?
