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...

I know a few geophysicists, sadly for them it’s mostly about knowing systems rather than the actual ‘geophysics’.

Mother

Hollywood Actress ( purely for the money : effort ratio and being a household name )
Rocket scientist, brain surgeon, quantum physicist (for intelligence)
Composer (successful ones for creativity, sounds more highbrow than songwriter!)

Supreme Leader

Two pilots are friends of mine. They are both really nice people but very ordinary

Surgeon or Professor.

I’d also be quite impressed by an officer in an elite regiment (Royal Marines, Paras, etc) or by someone in the SAS.

Doctor. Especially one who works in an A&E.

Ultimately, the most impressive thing is being able to save a life. Followed closely by being able to pick yourself up and keep going when it doesn't work out.

I have a high-pressure high-stress job, but I couldn't imagine being responsible for whether someone lives or dies.

I knew someone once whose title was Head of Knowledge, which I thought was pretty impressive.

Definitely not barristers. But anything medical I always think wow just because it’s something I’d never be able to do or cope with.

I think professor as well because that’s so much commitment to a subject it’s amazing.

I work in architecture/engineering, so I’m in awe of jobs I cannot fathom doing.

SEN teacher

Incident cleaner (no idea what the job title is), but those who clear up after murders, death on railway lines etc

Any animal related job - I had a friend who was ‘Head of Bats’, we used to call her Batgirl!!

We have these in our company, sadly they are anything but 😂

Hostage negotiator
Think Tank participant

Not so impressed by leadership roles.

Pilot in the Red Arrows.

The driver(s) of the Flying Scotsman steam engine.

Doctors, especially obstetricians, neonatologists, A&E doctors and GPs.

Not just because they're usually quite clever but because of the level of hard work and compassion required.

For me it would be CEO or Actuary. Or any sort of surgeon.

i used to be super impressed by Psychotherapist but I've now qualified in that field so it isn't as impressive to me.

God

I just describe myself as a former soldier. When pressed, I do give my rank which was fairly senior. People say "Wow! Did everyone call you Ma'am? You must have been really important."
"Well, I was addressed as Ma'am but I much preferred being called by my rank and name. My soldiers just called me 'boss' which I was much more comfortable with." Goodness knows why people are so impressed. I was just a soldier doing a job.

For me; medical consultant or concert pianist

I forgot Aid Worker. God's work, that.

Quantum computing technologist

Any jobs in medicine, I met a brain surgeon at a drinks party once and he was fascinating

I'm a solicitor so i know a lot of barristers and I'm a long way past being wowed (no slight on them, some are really excellent) but legal careers seem a bit ordinary.

I would say for me it would be careers which are exciting or unusual. People who work in theatre I find fascinating. We also met someone on holiday who was a professional stunt man - thought that was really cool. Oh and I know someone whose job title is Caretaker of the Royal Palaces which sounds like an amazing job ... and there's only one of her!

Indeed. Yes.

I saw a job ad for Head of Uncertainty a while back. Not sure it wins most prestigious job title but it was certainly one that made me read the advert!

I’m a surgeon and prof. Trust me I’m also a mum and very ordinary, most parents at school don’t know what I do.
Astronaught is what I’d dream to be….
What’s a sea Lord?
