Its funny you should ask. Back in my college party days, my friend, had a buddy who was a D bag and whose girlfriend was a stripper. I didn't know any better so when my friend said let's go stay with them, I had never been to Nothern CA, I said ok, party, strippers, right on! They were mental cases, she had been abused and raped as a kid, he beat her, you get the picture. He was basically her pimp. She made around $200 a night, not too good looking, and he spent all the money on drugs and toys.

Is it immoral or unethical to judge people you don't even know? To make sweeping generalizations about people?

These articles are always B.S. Tell me where a forklift driver can earn 40K/yr besides one of the few remaining union plants, and I will give credit to one of these random conglomerations of career nonsense.

But at any rate, the topic is of least ethical careers...

No. It is only if you're pre-judging an individual based on his/her profession, but to say "generally speaking, my experience has been" in regards to groups of people on an aggregate basis, it is not. Let's not be PC here. It's undeniably true that certain professions have a higher % of unethical people than others.

While that may be true, I question people's ability to pick those professions out. I also don't doubt for a second based on some of the responses in this thread that some people would absolutely pre-judge an individual based on their profession.

It's human nature.

Everyone stereotypes, subconsciously or not.
