I'm doing an essay on careers and the way it's perceived by people in terms of attractiveness and intelligence of the profession. So I have a few questions that I hope I get some responses on.
1. Do you think your attractive?
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?
3. Do you think you are smart?
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours?
5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours?
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own?
7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own?
8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so______________

Fine I'll bite...
1. Do you think your attractive? I think I'm average....my husband thinks I am.
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference? N/A, married before I became a nurse
3. Do you think you are smart? I know I'm smart
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours? surgeons have it rough, their on call schedules suck
5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours? Management
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own? Strippers? Not sure if I'd call it a career tho
7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own? Plumber

I will say I frequently see the security guards at the ER try to "score a nurse." They are more into the pay checks though than anything. One guard kept flirting with every nurse until one finally went out with him. Nurses are very well paid in my region and I think that ups the "attractiveness" points. There aren't too many jobs you can make 130k a year part time...
Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.
Not sure you want my answers
1. Do you think your attractive? My what?
My shoes? My shoes are cute borderline attractive.
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?
How would a career choice garner dates unless you chose to be on the Bachelorette or made a career out of being on the Dating Game. Though technically being a paid escort would garner dates.
3. Do you think you are smart? I know I am. I'm also intelligent, funny, sarcastic, well educated, articulate and apparently invoke fear in others
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours?
Careers by definition cannot have levels of intelligence as they are an action without cognitive characteristics. A more difficult career? Manual landscaper in the Florida Everglades. Professional MMA fighter. Alligator wrangler.
5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours? Again career is a concept or an action and as such no cognitive capability.
Easier? Beach badge checker. My sister's job as she has four paralegals to do all the research, two investigators and multiple detectives & police officers to gather information& evidence and two administrative assistants that do all her office tasks (good thing as she's still a two finger hunt and peck typist with a doctoral degree!) all she has to do is show up in court on Monday/Wednesday and some Fridays and outsmart felony murderers into admitting guilt.
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own? I don't think my job is sexy. I don't think any career is sexy
I think those that often choose to be shirtless landscapers, firefighters, and wrestlers tend to be visually attractive
7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own?
Careers you couldn't pay me to do:
Manual septic tank obstruction removal technician
Middle school or high school bus driver
Quality control technician at Cheap hot dog factory
8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so______________
how would I be able to identify nursing students at the beach?
Do they have a separate section?
Is it nursing student discount day?
Unnoticeable as everybody blends at the beach.
You can't differentiate that my siblings are a special forces state trooper, senior director of marketing, senior assistant district attorney, pediatric speech and language pathologist, doctoral candidate nurse pedagogy/educator, field nurse or corporate attorney if we were all together. Unless there was a shooting. Then the trooper would leap into action assisted by the prosecutor, the SLP would redirect children (also qualified in child life), the ***correction the nurses would call 911 and back away both are experienced and know better than to self identify at the beach*** our children know better than to say "my mom is a nurse she can help!" It's my "mom has a phone she can call 911. And may have a band aid"
the marketer would be in front of the camera, and the attorney would be handing out business cards.
You might think this crew is crazy and feel sorry for our parents and children.
I forgot to add you don't have to answer every question, just the one's you chose?
Just FYI, you don't need an apostrophe when you pluralize something, only if it is being used in the possessive form. e.g. "One's chosen profession can say a lot about them." vs. "I prefer the ones that are on sale today, thank you." Pluralizing only requires adding the "s". :)
Specializes in Peds/outpatient FP,derm,allergy/private duty.

You saw a group of nursing students at the beach? Man, that ticks me off. In my day the closest we got to water was generally dousing ourselves while attempting to carry the bath basin. But seriously, what is the proper beach attire for nursing students these days?

OP could have used that apostrophe in the first question where your was used instead of you're.

It really depends upon whether the nursing students are attractive
I think I'm at most most attractive, as a nurse, when I have a poop smear on my knee from catching a naked and confused gero mid-fall. I cannot tell you how many handsome doctors have wanted to swoop me up and carry me off to the linen closet because of this.
I'm also tired of fighting off men who think I'm a cheap date just because I wear TED hose.
