The point, btw, is not that competence and such are not found in social workers. There are some great athletes who are not professional. But I doubt there are many professional-caliber athletes who are not professionals - it's just too hard, and the rewards of turning pro are too high. Similarly with CEOs. If you're good enough at management to manage a Fortune 500 company, that's probably what you _are_ doing - that or working in a place of similar responsibility (the government, for example). Social workers don't face the same sort of Darwinian pressures. The very best lawyers might. The problem is that you can't compare CEOs to all lawyers - it's not as if CEO is a profession. CEO is the culmination of a profession. Peter Angelos is on the same tier, but do you think that the same level of ability is in your average (not exceptional, but average) public defender? I don't. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
