In the immediate aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, AMR Interactive publish a survey of 2,270 people about their views of various professions. With headlines screaming about bank failures and multi-trillion dollar rescue plans, it appears we don’t like bankers anymore.

Bankers rate down there with journalists, politicians and real estate agents. (I still have a soft spot for Annette Bening in “American Beauty” though.)

In this 21^stcentury world we’re in, we seem to hanker for the good old professions. Firemen, doctors, policemen and teachers aren’t what six year olds dream of being. It’s who we appreciate. Little kids don’t dream of being accountants. Well – very, very few have that passion!

So after being battered and bruised by the global economy we revert to our youth. Which is probably a good thing as we’ll need the energy of our youth to return to work as retirement savings are perilously diminished.

Damn – must be those bankers again!
