14. Lawyer
Percentage of prestige: 62%
It was quite an astonishment to discover lawyers to be one of the most well-respected professions in America as I was under the impression that lawyers are not only despised but are considered to be deceptive. Well, it just goes to show how negative opinions about a particular thing are publicized a lot more than positive ones are. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that lawyers are paid quite well throughout the country.
