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?

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.
Ok...I'll join in...
1. Do you think your attractive?
I don't think...I KNOW...I have had two boyfriends (in kindergarten no less ) and have had a history of fans and haterz...
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?
No difference-see #1 please
3. Do you think you are smart?
Yup-I was slated to skip a grade, and my IQ test at six was 130, deemed superior; so I KNOW I'm smart.
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours?
Each have needs that are relative to the needs of said career.
Although being a trophy wife seems to be a pretty hard job.
5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours?
Professional sleeper
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own?
:laugh:
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______________
Fleek. :laugh:
I'm sorry, I can't take this "survey" seriously-the wording, the syntax, everything.
OP, look up how to write a survey properly and make it more "professional" for the audience you are addressing...this survey looks like it can be found in Us Magazine.
1. Do you think your attractive? Objectively, I suppose so.
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference? I couldnt tell you the last time that I went on (or was even asked to go on) a date. And yes I am single. And no kids. So either it has a negative effect, or no difference at all, I guess.
3. Do you think you are smart? I know I am.
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be harder than yours? Physicist
5. Name a career or careers you consider easier than yours? Food tray delivery in a hospital.
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own? All the ones that don't include other peoples poop/pee/vomit. If I have to be more specific, I suppose I could say exotic dancer. I should note here that I don't find nursing to be a sexy career at all.
7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own? CNA. Doctor. Any hospital job, unless you count actors on hospital drama TV shows. Most of the jobs featured on the TV show, "Dirty Jobs". Any job where I would be grossed out to wear my work shoes into my house (like I am with my job).
8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so "dedicated. They even brought their textbooks to the beach to study!"
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.
Sexy I doubt it.
Now I really want to come to your next family reunion. Sounds like a good time! (And I promise not to sell you out as a nurse )

If you had read what I actually wrote you would have noticed how I'm doing research on why certain careers are considered more attractive than others. I didn't say anything about having to be good looking to be a nurse? I can tell you really pay attention to things, makes me want to ask what hospital you work in, so I know not to go there
My ability to do my job has NOTHING what so ever to do with your poll. I did read it and I paid attention. I do NOT agree with the poll.
You don't know me from Adam so I could very well be your nurse in the future and you won't have a clue that it was me who posted to you. I still find this poll ludicrous

They are rare but they are....unique. The only one forced to self identify are the trooper & the attorneys.
I could absolutely see the BS king marketer easily taking over the camera.
Last mini reunion, youngest niece is half the age of my son, was mad at her parents for not having any more children and declared my son her new little brother. He went along with it. We almost died laughing as she introduced him to anyone who would listen as her little brother that is clearly twice her age and height.
I'm the one usually left with 9 kids like the Pied Piper. So my son and I sugar them up and bring gifts of noisy toys that don't turn off...
Sexiest? I don't think so in reality . Profession full of respect?Ingenuity? Practicality? MacGuyver like? Dark humored? Clever? Tenacity? I will take any of those descriptors.
I honestly don't know anyone that chose a career to find a life mate.

Wow. That was dramatic. A member asks about the relevance of your research and suddenly that member is an unfit nurse?

No, I've been literate for longer than you've been alive. You did not ask about the attractiveness of a nursing career, you asked about the attractiveness of nurses. If you can't tell the difference, you may need remedial reading, if not therapy.

Hi OP,
Happy to help, here are my answers.
1. Do you think your attractive?
Like everyone, I have things I like about myself and things I don't
2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?
Well I got divorced after I graduated with my first nursing degree. And like a previous poster said, I think that being independent and having a career helped me in that department. It did open up the door to meeting people I might not have otherwise met but I don't date coworkers. My first husband was a coworker, we see how that went.
3. Do you think you are smart?
I think I am great in college and book smart to some degree but I can be a klutz with things.
4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours?
Paramedic, when I worked in inner city they got shot at every night. They also have no resources out there and never know what they are walking into, and they get paid crap for what they do.
5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours?
I think all careers are hard in different ways.
6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own?
Radio City Rockette LOL
7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own?
Elephant turd scooper
8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so sun burnt from falling asleep on the beach.
