PROFESSIONDoctors at peak of prestigious jobs listQuick View. Oct. 18, 2004.
Most Americans rate the profession of physician as having "very great" prestige, putting it at the top of a survey of which professions are most respected. Although medicine and science are considered the most prestigious, doctors fell in consumers' eyes by 9 points from 1998 to 2004. Participants, a nationwide sample of 1,012 adults, were asked to rate 22 different professions as having very great prestige, considerable prestige, some prestige or hardly any prestige at all.
