There are a lot of interesting things that came out of this Pew survey, but this jumped out at me:
"When asked to evaluate various professions, roughly 70% of Americans answer that scientists "contribute a lot" to society compared to 38% for journalists, 23% for lawyers, 40% for clergy, and 21% for business executives. Only members of the military (84%) and teachers (77%) rate higher in public admiration and esteem."
Wow, right? Didn't mention the stats for doctors, that'd be interesting to include.
