I hope you don't use that awful grammar in any correspondence or in any of your assignments for whatever field you're in.

Architect here, don't have to worry about that.

I actually hope you don't use your nasty generalizations and judge people's professions like you have demonstrated in this thread in the real world. We certainly don't need more people like you in the world.

Right, we need more passive-aggressive people like you.

It always comes out if you wait long enough. The people who truly have no argument start attacking someone's grammar. Good work.

A lot of folks seem to despise certain professions that carry a level of control, influence or authority. If HR managers are constantly overlooking an unemployed workers resume, it makes sense that said worker would change their opinion of the HR profession. Honestly, HR managers generally are not the ones making the decisions regarding actual hiring, but that's besides the point.

What people tend to forget... HR managers get laid off too. And when they have to apply for a job, someone is going to be deciding if that HR manager is worth an interview, and if they're lucky, a job. CEO's get fired. Police get fired. Companies themselves can go bankrupt. Should the owner of a business consider his former customers unethical because they decided to stop doing business there?

Sometimes, folks need to put things in perspective and look at the bigger picture...

Most of the architects I know are very politically correct and their feathers are easily ruffled. With the investment they have in their school and work projects, they're not the best at taking criticism. Then, since they tend toward the liberal, I could see them not liking generalizations.

About the professions, there is a lot of valid stereotyping. That's why they give kids, and adults, those standardized tests to match personalities and interests to professions or lines of work.

That has already been mentioned and I chimed in. Is it because of the abuse scandals? In reality, that was perpetrated by a very small minority of priests, for whom the dioceses had to pay dearly. What I find more disturbing is the priest who is in it for altogether wrong reasons, for which the list has several items worth discussing.
