Most Important Job You Can Have?
What it says? What are the most important jobs, on the whole, that anyone can have?
I would say:
BTW, for those so inclined to respond, I do not count parenting as a job, though it is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.

Parent -- because I _do_ count it as a job, I really can't answer without it.

How is "President" not the easy answer? You affect so many more people than anyone else can possibly even hope to reach.

Does "thealmighty" asking what's the most important job qualify as ironic?

For the religious, I'd say a priest.
For the nonreligious, I'd say a farmer. Followed by a teacher. |

Inventor (like Thomas Edison) or Entertainer (like Ron Jeremy)
Seriously, I'd go with a teacher, since I believe that children are the future. |

Teacher, sadly many teachers are morons.
In the sport of choice, basketball, I would go against the general public and say Center. The Point Guard is very important but the Center is the rebounding and defensive anchor. |

I would think Sacrificial Virgin.
1) Not everyone can qualify. Well, they could at one point... 2) Appeasing the angry Volcano God is good for all. Um, except for the Sacrificial Virgin.

My first thought was parent too. But if you man a job in the sense of something you get paid for, I would say anyone who works in any type of emergency response team. Everyone from the 911 dispatcher to police to fireman to paramedics to the doctors and nurses in the ER. If you've ever been involved in an emerency situation, you know how critical it is that these people are available 24x7 whenever you need them.

For me I think the most important jobs are the opposite types of work. The ones that you forget about most of the time, but are responsible for the things we take for granted. I've never used the emergency room, and never suffered an injury that wouldn't have healed without a doctor taking a look. However, I do understand how important it is to have them. Police are a bit of an exception because without them there would be looting and such, so they are pretty important. If there weren't fire fighters I'm sure more stuff would burn down, but I bet neighbors would get motivated to put the fire out before it spread too much. But just imagine a day without the electric plant operator at the controls (or the nuclear plant operator). No electricity, no stop lights, no television, no machines to keep people alive in the hospitals, etc... So to me, the most important jobs are those types that keep things going (electrical workers, sewer workers, police, etc...). |

Most important paid job...teachers. It all starts with them (excluding parents of course).
