Once upon a time being a slave trader was considered an honorable occupation. I can remember a time when being a clergyman, banking and insurance were considered honorable occupations.Working in the sex industry is not the most honorable occupation but at least it has some useful social function. I generally don''t like advertizing but again it does have some useful social function. Anyone with any sense knows not to take it too seriously. What does get to me is organizations like the British Nutrition Foundation and the Heart Foundation in Australia who present themselves as sources of expert, unbiased , disinterested information, when they are surreptitious advertizing agencies.

I've always viewed the most dishonorable jobs to be employees of slaughter houses and truck drivers that transport these poor animals to these factory farms.
There are no honorable/dishonorable occupations. Just perceptions of them. Depending on what viewpoint one takes, in any argument one could make any occupation seem honorable or dishonorable. That being said, people will merely post an opinion here, which is both uninteresting as irrelevant. Unless you want to study human interest.
It`s relative. Out of every occupation there are going to be honorable people and dishonorable people. Some doctors will make sacrifices to give the care a patient needs, others will refuse help or rip you off. Some farmers raise their animals in a healthy, happy environment and give them a humane, quick end when the time comes. Other farmers cram their animals in tiny pens, force feed them GMO food, inject hormones, and otherwise abuse them, then sell them off to be shipped in a crammed truck to an unimaginably painful death. One artist could work for months on one original piece. Another might come along and rip off that piece. A politician may stick to his morals and do some very good work (though it`s unlikely he`ll ever make it up the governmental ladder). Another politician gives up his morals for a nice payout, climbs the ladder, corrupts the system more, and is glorified by the media. I don`t believe it`s fair to judge the whole, whether or not the majority is bad.
