As it happens, the National Opinion Research Center does a <B>formal</B> survey to determine occupational prestige, and "editors and reporters" get a rating of 51 on a 100-point scale. (In comparison, physicians get 82 and lawyers get 76.) O*NET gives editors a 3.87 rating for Social Status on a 1-to-5 scale. So maybe the job is not quite as prestigious as you might think. But it has other rewards that more than compensate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
