Professions with the biggest egos that you have observed ?

[MAJOR METAL]

What professions in you'r observation seem to have the biggest egos among its practitioners ? In my observations I would have to say Professors/ Administrators within University's as well as Clergy.

 

[Lammchop93]

Pilots. I don't work with them, but almost everyone I know is big-headed.

 

[James Hart]

Singers and Guitarists

 

[jonathan_matos5]

trumpet players.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Engineers. Or at least engineering students.

 

[Bongolation]

Surgeons.

 

[Mazatleco17]

Professors

 

[tastybasslines]

cops/TV film people and wives

 

[onewebfoot]

Generally, mid-level managers, with emphasis on engineering and marketing.

The absolutely *most* egotistical profession ... politicians.

 

[MJ5150]

IT guys, especially admins.

I'm an IT guy too, but some of these dudes need to step off and let everyone work together to get a project done already.

[Ursus Tyrannus]

In my personal experience; pro-wrestlers and cops.

 

[knumbskull]

i've worked in books for a while, and in my experience, humour writers.

the more their career depends on being likeable, witty and breezy in print, the bigger the monster they are in real life!

 

[Munjibunga]

Politicians.

'Scuze me, I have to go throw up now. BRB.

 

[cheezewiz]

Doctors, lawyers, professors. Keep in mind, just SOME of them. Certainly not all.

 

[Joey3313]

Engineers. Or at least engineering students.

Agreed a million times over.

 

[Spaldo]

Computer technicians.

I'm always taken by the "I can't believe how stupid you are because you don't know what I know" attitude they exude.

Oh yeh, and some bass players I've met. To paraphrase Jeff Berlin, "you manipulate a chunk of wood and wire and somehow you believe you are a god among men??!!"

Tsk.

 

[Munjibunga]

'K, I'm back.

Engineers? They're all nerds. How can they have big heads?

 

[Munjibunga]

Seriously, though, I seldom encounter anyone who is exceptionally egotistical. It happens so rarely that I'm always slightly taken aback, then amused by them. Big heads are a lot of fun to jack around.

That's what she said.

I'd have to agree, I'm an Admin myself but some of the least experienced ones I run into have the largest god complexes.
You're going to complain about how stupid your users are then ask me how to do a DC promo. Go back to the help desk and STFU.

Other than that young middle management that's only there because daddy put them there.
