If you were on a first date and found out the person worked as a telemarketer, would it change your opinion of them?
An annual Gallup poll found telemarketer is the least trusted profession, or it's at least way down there. They don't ask about every job in the world. But of the 18 jobs listed, telemarketer ranked last.
Only 6% of Americans rate them as more honest and ethical than average. The next least-trusted profession is, being a member of Congress.
The rest of the bottom five are car salesman, business executive, and people who work in advertising.
Nurse was voted the MOST trusted profession for the 22nd year in a row. Then it's doctors, pharmacists, high school teachers, and cops.
