Sleaziest profession? I was just accused of being it.

You are correct. I have lawyer stories that would curl your hair. Scum of the earth.

My old college roommate is now an Attorney. After a week of living with him I quickly found out that he loved watching the demise of others and spreading lies for amusement. Now he gets paid to do it.

My grandfather was a very successful attorney in my home town. It wasn't until his funeral that I found out what kind of a lawyer he was. So many people I never met came up to me to say how he had helped them in one way or another, often pro bono.

As Matt Damon said in "The Rainmaker", "There are all kinds lawyers."

I agree with Robert Heinlein: "I believe that almost all politicians are honest. For every bribed alderman there are hundreds of politicians, low paid or not paid at all, doing their level best without thanks or glory to make our system work. If this were not true, we would never have gotten past the thirteen colonies."

Of course it could be true what Henry Kissinger said: "It's the 90% of politicians that give the other 10% a bad name." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

The thing is, I knew that I was correct when I posted it.

If you don't understand the need for lobbyists & lawyers in a democracy than you don't understand how a republic works...

With that in mind nursing home management personnel, the insurance industry, Hollywood, & teacher's that are part of a union.

So lobbyists and lawyers for nursing homes, insurance, Hollywood, and union teachers are OK?

Listen, advertising isn't always bad. It can be interesting and enjoyable. Bad advertising is bad.

Great Ads off the top of my head:

And of course:

Really surprised my occupation wasn't mentioned more often.

I don't want to know about any job that sucks worse than having to interview a recent widow.

In the first Gulf War we had a plane go down from our local air force base (Hurlburt) and lost 24 guys.

We interviewed family and friends and wrote 24 separate stories. It was awful and it was very good.

When a grieving widow is crying her eyes out telling you about her spouse, you feel lower than dung. It's even worse when they cuss you and slam a door in your face.

Alright impostors, I'll reveal my true profession so that I can shut you up. I'm a spammer. I don't really find it very sleazy per se, but it pays well and fun at times.

Pharmaceutical sales would be way, way down my list of sleazy jobs.

OP, are you a female? Every Pharm salesperson I have seen/known were blonde females between the ages of 25-35.

Scientists. Everyone knows that there is a cure for cancer but the scientists purposely don't pursue this because it would put them out of a job

Yes, we are laughing all the way to the bank with our decade plus of slavelike postgraduate wages and 10% chances of ever becoming professors.

Lawyer and televangelist are two great answers.

Swaggert used to bring in $500K a day in donations.

I almost spit my coffee out when I read this one!
