When asked “what profession would you most like to try dating?” Japanese women gave a less than surprising list of the most glamourous and lucrative professions they could think of, apparently supporting the all but universally held notion that material wealth is the key to success with the ladies…

The ranking:

1. Doctor

2. Pilot

3. Comedian / “talent”

4. Entertainer

5. Lawyer

6. Working in the mass media

7. Manager

8. Working at a big manufacturer

9. Civil servant

10. Musician

Even politicians and academics found themselves languishing at the bottom of the list, showing perhaps that high status is not as desirable as high salary; a poor showing by financial professionals, also at the bottom, is probably a reflection of the lately less than stable nature of this industry…

However, this list is positively balanced in comparison to the male version, visible here.

    Depends on specialties, but a handful of physicians can make 4-500k a year, but consider the amount of work I say it's not worth it. Dentists are more cost-efficient if you just want to be rich. And no, not all of us are doing this for the money(speaking as a medical student).

    Doctoring is a profession that requires you to love your job and love helping people. Hence why most women would be into that type of guy(that and the common belief that they get paid a shit load to do their job)

    Don't be a doctor if you didn't find the calling to be a doctor, because you will waste your time and money. I worked with an intern who quit the first week on the floor, he later went into business(although he did become successful). That's 300k and 5 years down the drain. And no, Grey's Anatomy is not representative of a resident's life style. For a lot of people it is a living world of (butt)hurt.

    smarter to think about money more than love or sex? Honestly, I real think that if I find actuall happiness in anything, it's the latter things. I seriously doubt I'd ever find happiness in money... even if I imagine winning a billion dollars. If I had that kind of money, I imagine using pretty much all of it toward's helping other people. What else would I do, create a giant golden mansion and live in it like Citizen Kane?

    In fact men as unknown to ourselves are also another set of whimsical creatures.

    The most important two factors which are constantly interchangeable based on individuals are:
    1. Presentable (how the girl presents herself to others; not to be confused with appearance.)
    2. Companionship

    Anonymous 14:03 18/11/2009, you are typical women... "lay around all day" and "I can go shopping" ; "I'll stop shopping when you stop wanting sex" - you must have really bad man and you are weird woman, last research about "who want sex?" was be shocking: womens wants sex more than any men in this world. Face truth, you or your man must be really bad in sex because you are not satisfied. Anyway, any normal men seek for women with some character and not for chick that spend all time with shopping (and even if he will chick - he expect sex for shopping). Maybe young man search for beauty, but in past he will recognize that he cant live with "nice body that only eat money" - for this reason, we dont need any women: just go to shop and buy plastic one (you will spend money only one time). Frankly, some men search for sex, but they will regret their choice entire life because: are you will live with women that have nice look but she is like dummy that only shopping, or you will women that have some IQ, manners and respect?

    Yup, this list is fairly universal. For all their protests that they want 'equality', a good deal of women would rather be taken care of.

    I prefer to rubbish their protest for "equality". Some of these women I say deserve "equality". But many out there do not deserve it. Though they want equality, they will still demand "protection" from men. If they want "protection", then there is no grounds for "equality" for these women.

    How many women would want to move their asses from chairs to find work? If their husbands gets retrenched from his job, will she take the initiative to work? Or not to mention divorce him.

    How many women out there when going out with a male partner would insist that she pays her own share? Or buy something she wants with her own pocket?

    How many women would not have an uproar should their local government pass a bill that women as well are liable for conscription?

    If a girl is willing to work. If a girl is willing to pay her share. And if a girl is willing to accept equal woes of a men. Only then I say she deserves "equality".

    This is not true, women are a liability to employ because they have children, they will thus never get the same pay because they are more expensive to the company; but you are true that they're going the entire wrong way about changing things.

    Comment by Artefact

    This is quite true - it would be madness to employ a woman at the same pay as a man if you were faced with paying not only her wages, and those of a replacement who would then have to be sacked should the woman decide to reclaim her job.

    Only a very large enterprise could stomach such costs, and most would likely find some other grounds for not hiring a potential maternity drop-out, particularly where key employees are concerned.

    Perhaps having such women shoulder the burden themselves would allow the more career-minded to enjoy less mistrust from pragmatic employers, and consequently higher salaries?

    Be careful... it's a prototype, which means "uncorrected flaws inside".

    Actually, it IS an achievement to become a doctor, pilot, or lawyer. It takes lots of studying to become one, regardless of how many people already are in those fields.

    If there are a lot of them, that may reduce your earnings, but that's a separate issue.

    You have not seen the result of good psychology on difficult patients. I have worked with several rape victims who without specialised psychological help would be true wrecks; general psychologists, and untrained 'helpers' are both actually very counter productive to maintaining and studying effects on mental health. I will admit that general psychology is also not useless, but over-used and less useful than it's made out to be. The problem is similar to doctors and surgeons in my opinion. Surgery can often be avoided but they're still important, and drugs are often over used and over-hyped, but they're still good. Over-hyped general psychology makes most people think the same as you, but specialised psychology can help a lot of the most intellectually impressive people in society actually be able to interact with society. Without us most of the greatest genii would be psychological vegetables, and many of the top positions would be filled with less fitting people.

    What we do is to make the useful people useful, and saying that psychiatrists are useless is like saying a car mechanic is useless if you have a taxi-driver. We fix the machinery, but the machinery is the bit which gets the job done.

    Learn to read, I've use the term 'greatest genii' which is entirely to my own opinion and thus non-quantifiable and thus cannot be wrong or right, also I stated quite clearly that a lot of psychological care is counter productive, but specialised psychological help is more likely to be a positive result. I'm a psychologist, I learn to choose words carefully, I advise you learn to read them before you attempt to counter-argue.

    People with a PhD, a doctorate are called "Doctors" in their profession. Scientist are people who conduct research in various fields in science and engineering and they can be of any profession.

    For example a chemical engineer that is conducting research for new materials is a scientist and if he has a PhD in chemical engineering he is also a Doctor in chemical engineering and people will adress him as Doctor of professor.

    I hope this helps.

    There are a lot more people who hate _doing_ mathematics because it's mentally tiring for them, and/or they're lousy at it.

    You guys are SOOOO guilty of wanting women outside of your league. Most of you are a 6 or less out of 10 looks and personality wise, and have little to nothing in common with the average "hot" woman. Therefore, logically, the only way for you to get any is to have enough money to convince said "hot" women to want to be around you for any length of time. I agree with that Dilbert book that I read that says that engineers pretty much are looking to eventually just replace women because the current model is flawed in one way another.

    I'm an average woman, kinda chunky yet active and gregarious. I love geeky things like anime, video games and get along pretty well with geeky guys in general.

    And yet, they're sitting there drooling over some girl who has nothing in common with them and fantasizing about their hot butt all day. They're like dogs chasing cars; they have no idea what they'd do if they caught one.

    I've had my share of "nice guys" dump my ass for some vapid idiot jerk woman who stepped all over them and broke their hearts, and yet they were still retarded over these women because they were thin and hot in a stereotypical way.

    I say, good riddance! If you really want to get yourself a hot golddigger, then great! One less mook to deal with in my life.

    Seriously, guys, if I'm going to date an asshole, I would prefer him to be a hot asshole with good hygiene and who at least showers me with stuff and affection at the beginning and enjoys pleasing a woman in bed.

    None of this wimpy geek play that I've been getting with guys who seem to think that porn is sex (ie: me doing all the work), who haven't heard of a damn shower (because they would rather surf 4chan), and whose idea of a birthday present is telling me that I don't have to get THEM a birthday present.

    At least women who date rich attractive jerks get SOMETHING socially and economically out of the experience.

    I don't even have my dignity anymore.

    Fuck you, nice guys of the world. "Nice Guy" is obviously secret code for "passive aggressive asshole jerk who will use you and throw you away."

    and forget a window to every anon, you dont even use what you have and look at what most poeple are actually saying here... the most of us hate goldiggers. Did you even see the responses to the article posted here about 90% of Japanese women wanting high salery men?

    as for "And yet, they're sitting there drooling over some girl who has nothing in common with them and fantasizing about their hot butt all day. They're like dogs chasing cars; they have no idea what they'd do if they caught one."

    was that last part a huge cliche or a quote from a movie? Either way, I cant stand how so many people hate stereotypes and then cling to them like lifesavers! What you discribed yourself as looking like, there are people who fantasize over bodies like that. There's an ideal looking woman for all kinds of men out there. There's people on this site that like boobs of all kinds of sizes, from non-existant to the size of the moon. When arte posts a picture, it's never unanimous that the person is either ugly or beutiful, there's always an argument.. unless it's one of arte's purposely grotesque posts, ofcourse, lol.

    And why do you care what we think? most of us are ugly anyways, right?

    Finaly, everyone has their fantasies, even happily married people. Only a fool would be jeleous over impossible fantasies, and only a fool would cling to impossible fantasies rather than accept reality and what you already have, but just having fantasies doesnt make you a fool by any degree. I dont dream about the women i find attractive having nothing in common with me, part of the fantasy is that they are beutiful not only outside but inside, and who am I to assume they arent really like that? THe only people without fantasies are those who psyche themselves away from them, by telling themselves that theyre wrong and horrible and that having them makes them a bad person.

    "I don't even have my dignity anymore"

    I threw away your argument when I reached this statement.

    Engineers are the unsung heroes of humankind. Knowing the fact that efforts and innovations benefited far many lives (behind the curtain) than many other professions combined is a satisfactory reward of its own.

    While doctors heal 1 life at a time, mechanical engineers invent instruments that could perform much more complex surgeries than before.
    While pilots fly hundreds of passengers everyday, aeronautical engineers continually improve designs to ensure passenger safety.
    While entertainers bring smiles to people in front of them, communication engineers bring smiles to people in front of the mass media throughout the world.

    Whilst having a family is a perfectly optional choice of an engineer, to dive into the engineering profession without fully realizing that your job will demand your absolute dedication and commitment with minimal materialistic rewards is a mistake. Know that engineering is one of the few remaining fields in which noble and moral values are highly relevant to the job.

    ENGINEERS OF THE WORLD, DANKETSUSURU (UNITE)!!!

    If only I could name a few anime/manga that center around engineers....

    Engineering freshman here...
    I'd just like to point out, wouldn't engineers be included under the "working at a big manufacturer" thing? There is still hope for us!
