- From AIChExtra, December 1992 (typos are mine):
-
- While only 12 percent of people polled say honesty and ethical standards
- are high for US senators and congressional representatives, 45 percent
- think that description fints America's enginers. As reported in the
- October 1 issue of 'USA TODAY', doctors were the only professional group
- to outrank (at 54 percent) engineers in the honesty and ethics sweepstakes.
- College teachers tied with engineers. Journalists came in at 26 percent;
- lawyers, 22 percent [apologies to Dick Schulze]; business executives, 21
- percent; and building contractors, 20 percent.
-
-
- Merry merry.
