Lol Doctors really?
It is a very hard profession to achieve, You have no idea the amount of studying is required for it.
I personally think its those Nurses, acting all up as if the qualify the same as doctors.
I find many architects are laughably arrogant. There is a breed of architect who just wants to create ridiculous monuments to themselves. I have worked with architects for years and have only dealt with a handful that are not jumped up egotists with delusions of adequacy.
not actually a profession as such is it?
Prestige car salesmen purely for this story about my friends dad:
He is a VERY well off man, when I say well off I mean owns hotels and restaurants around Europe, is a business partner with Marco Pierre White, and so on. Anyway, looking at him half the time he dressed pretty normally and sometimes a bit scruffy so you wouldn't always think he was well off. So on this day he went out to buy a new car, at the time it was the brand new Bentley Continental GT convertible as a weekend car for him and his wife. He goes to a Bentley dealer and wanders around for a while until one of the salesmen comes over and politely asks him to leave! Ridiculous I know. Anyway, later that day he pulls up to that same show room smartly dressed in his £130,000+ car, finds the salesman who asked him to leave, tells him about how much he loves the car, thanks the salesman for his 'help' and on a final note ends with something along the lines of "it's a shame you missed out on this commission though."

Medics, doctors... I used to deal with them all the time and they're so up their own backsides it is unbelievable.
Don't agree with that! Manager in my current role is a very friendly woman, calls me in for chats to catch up and we have a nice talk about her family / holidays etc.
I'm probably just lucky, as I imagine other managers just dump work on you.
Most arrogant profession... NONE. Depends entirely on the person involved, wouldn't stick it to an entire group. The worst "trait" in a any profession from my experience is when people say "Yes" to things without actually hearing what you're saying.

I wouldn't necessarily say that this is true. I'd say that the more junior people in this profession can be pretty damn arrogant, however the mid-level and more senior bankers and brokers are a lot more open-minded and considerate.
