rank the top paid jobs, if workers were paid by the impact of the job on society |
|
Take, say, the top ten jobs. I'm a teacher, so I'm recusing myself. :D

In no particular order, and assuming they are all good at their jobs:
Teacher Parent Nurse Artist Scientist Clergy
Hmm... I've got 6 so far, but I've got to get to work! (I process dailies for Sony Television, so I guess I'd be pretty low on the scale...) :)

And I'm an atheist. :)
However, I do believe that some clergy can have a very postive effect on society. I've seen enough good works done by church groups, the effect on many church members of having a "community" - even just the act of going to church can make some people feel better.
You'll notice, however, that I indicated those listed should be good at their jobs, and I'm sure you can infer which clergy I feel do NOT have a positive impact on society.
