We all only know the professions we partook within. On everything else we get what the mainstream present to us: good, bad or indifferent. I like this video as it's a highly successful and well known academic being brutally honest about her profession and how it works. As usual money is its corrupting influence but her story is interesting. Are there things within the profession(s) that you know which the general public have no real idea about?

Anyone who thinks that these professions are pure and uncontaminated by greed and rabid ambition don't live in the real world.

That being so you'd hope that regulation would be more successful in ensuring that these systems worked more as productively intended to rather than be easy to game by hacks. If we buy a product off the shelf we expect it to work as advertised. On the face of it professions should be no different.

its a very broad question Sterling. At a guess i would say... - doctors, scared sh1.tless of being sued by longterm unemployed scumbags - University lecturers that are more like Butlins Redcoats than true academics........just keep all the punters happy and ignore any nutty behaviours you witness - Lawyers..........the customer is always right - accountants.......how can Hollywood make jobs in Wall Street look cool and sexy ? when its as boring as watching paint dry ?

I wonder if there's anyone out there who'd tell us about the downsides of being an international gigolo. I suspect it's a very hard job.....hard to be hard when it's the paying mingers.

the whole word 'professional' is problematic. And often spoken in contrast to an amateur. p*** stars assassins musicians sportsmen sex workers drug dealers or my favourite one 'artists'......every professional one i have ever met was a total t0sser
