Related question...which would you rank higher, a heart surgeon, pilot or a firefighter?
I think I would have to go heart surgeon, pilot and then firefighter.
Unless my house was on fire, then I would go firefigher, heart surgeon and then pilot.
But if I was on a plane when my house was ablaze, I would definitely go with pilot, firefighter and then heart surgeon.
If all the stress of being in a pilot-less plane while my house was burning down caused me chest pains, then I would go back to heart surgeon, pilot and then firefighter.
Am I being stupid? Most definitely. The obsession with ranking things that are utterly dependent on the context of the situation makes me loopy.
