Katt
Since the others have the potential to do the same, and I am not saying that all psychiatrists are what you describe to be, then your answer is incorrect. The correct answer must differ from all the others.

Can I have 2 answers?That was my answer. "Rocket Scientist" is 2 words, all the
rest are one word. But I'm guessing you are looking for something
more sophisticated than this? ;-)John

John X2;
You are an astonishing person. You saw that the difference was in the number of words of the occupations. Now that was not my intentions, but you did satisfy the criteria in the directions_ so you are a winner!
this actually happened in a question in a college entrance exam, similar to what you caught. But it was not my intention for this to happen,
Thearfore, we will consider you the winner, but I would like you to make the next quiz and monitor the answers that you get. Willow is comming back from putting her kids to bed, so could you make up your quiz quickly?
Thanks,
Lou

Okay, children are out. Hopefully for the night. I like John's answer, but mine is better. Boy, am I high on something?B thru to E, they all provide a service for an individual, (even a corportate lawyer is serving a corporation, which has share holders.) Now a scientist is working for a larger entity. Perhaps to satisfy his own thirst for knowledge. He's working with unknowns. I could ramble on with my reasons. But for myself, I know I'm right. Some one would have to give me a fairly good arguement to persuade me otherwise.

Willow;
Your answer also satisfies the criteria and is correct in respect to that. But, a rocket scientist could be workong for an individual.
The original rocket scientists were Nazis. When their regime was being closed in on by the Russians and the US and Britian, they chose to surrender to us rather than the Russians. But they worked to satisfy a person, Hitler.
Since you gave a great answer, I am wondering if you can create a quiz of your own without the flaw that I had in mine and monitor it yourself, tonight?
Thanks,
Lou

Now you can't convince me that "Hitler" was an individual. There was a government behind the man, and governments have agendas.

My other answer was the accountant on the premise that
all the others may require graduate studies (Ok, technically
the Rocket Scientist may only have a BS in engineering, but
probably he has a Phd).John
