Prestige

Despite all the pop culture emphasis in America on the Beckham's and Old Spice's of the world, apparently when it comes to jobs, it's the nation's scientists that earn the most respect. This is actually an interesting social experiment. In light of this, I wonder how many supermodels, Hollywood actors, or rock stars would be willing to trade places with me. Does prestige=status in the minds of the public? I doubt it. . .
