What job title holds the biggest wow factor

[pancakeontoast]

Just for sat night chat, what job do you think holds the biggest kudos? I think probably a medical consultant or barrister... what do you think...

Neurosurgeon

but Sea Lord trumps em all 🤣

Barrister
Midwife
Marine biologist
Judge
Cleaner

Professional philosopher

Rocket scientist.

That’s an honorary title so doesn’t count surely.

Yes, these.
also King.

Surgeon. And I once met a Nuclear Inspector and found that impressive.

Barrister

Surgeon

Astrophysicist

Anyone can be CEO/CFO/COO of their own company - whatever the size of the company

I meant forensic cleaners , the ones who clean up blood, gore and human waste

A commercial pilot.

My mind is very much blown trying to learn how to fly and land a tiny plane, never mind a massive airliner.

Paediatric Heart Surgeon.

Neurosurgeon.

I’ve met too many barristers and judges to say those jobs! I suspect if I knew some neurosurgeons I’d change my mind there, too.

Santa

I also think

Geophysicist
Astrophysicist
Biophysicist

All sound like impossibly clever

Or yes, neurosurgeon

My geologist husband once worked with an academic whose title was Head of Earth and Planets. That one's pretty hard to beat!

Surgeon is impressive to me
RAF Pilot
Barrister

I get confused with Chief Executive, Chief medical officer, chief nurse, Chief Finance officer, Lead this and that. We have all of those in my NHS Trust, I struggle with figuring out who is actually at the top and always want to know their pay grade as that tells me more than the titles🤪

CFO/coo/ceo do not impress me much <shakira>

I'm from the corporate world and I know they are blagging it like the rest of us

Pediatric surgeon

Head of Tiger Welfare at a zoo.

Concert pianist.

Oh shit it was shania Twain wasn't it. Not shakira.

I know both a fighter pilot (his dad was one also and is now a commercial pilot) and an Astro physicist (who stays at my house sometimes, he’s really nice but obviously really clever).

I know people are always impressed with the fighter pilot.

In the US, we don’t have barristers, just lawyers who litigate and they’re two a penny, so not generally considered impressive.

My daughters friends’s dad is a neurosurgeon and I find that fascinating. It would have taken years and years of education and training.

Prima ballerina. All those gazillions of kids who do baby ballet and just a handful get to the tippy top.

It’s funny I’m ex military so higher ranks don’t phase me. DH was a fighter pilot and now commercial, very humble guy.

My world now is surrounded by CEOs, I myself am one, so I’m not impressed there. But I’m seriously impressed by medical consultants. Also impressed by bankers who know their way around that world.

I think we’re more impressed by the things we don’t know!

The problem is, that if you actually say your correct job title, majority of people have no idea what you do!
eg:
I'm a consultant neurologist. 'huh?'🤔I'm a brain surgeon! 'Ahh ok then' 😄
