While the answers would surely have been different when we were still operating under their daily tyranny, it seems as us grown-ups place teachers at the top of our most trusted list.
A recent survey quizzed over 2,000 Brits to find out their thoughts on various jobs for RatedPeople.com. They ranked professions on four different criteria: value for money, honesty, reliability and quality of work.
Teachers had the overall best score while electricians came up top for quality of work. On the other end of the scale, politicians were ranked the worst for reliability, honesty and quality of work while Premiership footballers fared the worst when it came to value for money.
When it came to specific reasons to distrust a person, bad manners came out as the biggest tell, with poor eye contact also being indicative.
The top five jobs are as follows:
1. Teachers
2. Gardeners
3. Electricians
4. Plumbers
5. Roofers
