    Hmmm. Brewers, miners, IT professionals, electricians, engineers, actors and statisticians rank lower than Telemarketers (and economists of course, but who would trust them :p )

    I always thought real estate agents were toward the bottom of the trust list. Personally I would have put them on par with Door-to-door salespeople.

    Prostitues get badly portrayed on TV, I am sure that is the reason why they are no more trustworthy than an estate agent.

    All the TV shows have prostitues drugging customers and stealing their money, at least they give you drugs, real estate agents just steal the money.

    I am sure none of the Readers' Digest subscribers would have much in the way of first hand experience of a sex worker anyway but most will have come across an estate agent in their lives, you can wash and wash but you never get clean!

    I think you can trust a sex worker for doing their job rather than some of the other professions
    I remember a cabby took me down from melbourne airport to melbourne east once and charged me $80 back in 2007, at least I am sure that a sex worker will get you there at a fixed price =p

    A distant friend was telling me several years ago, about his son, who was suitably employed in the equity industry (although I do not know actually what he did).

    His annual bonus, and I quote, "was more than most people earn in a lifetime of work".This was not his salary - just the bonus.
