F tier - cops, military officers, coast guard, Immigration and custom inspectors

F+ tier - DAs, military, TSA officers

D tier - doctors

D+ tier - psychologists

C tier - nurses

B tier - teachers, private defense attorneys, tax collectors

A tier - social workers, janitors, government agency workers (DMV workers, office jobs, etc), public defenders, pro-bono defense attorneys

S tier - postal workers, firefighters, sanitation workers, veterinarians, anesthesiologists, park employees, forest rangers

Rest in Power p.a.t.c.o, martyrs in the fight for labor rights

EDIT: I'd like to add that this is mostly US-centric. In other countries, doctors probably range from B tier to S tier. As for defense attorneys, I honestly don't know enough about their demographics to determine how many of them are Alan Dershowitz and how many are actual public servants.

    what's your rationale? I put doctors in D tier because I feel that general practitioners have way too much power over the patient-doctor relationship. For instance, POC, women, and trans people have all historically suffered at the hands of discrimination from doctors, and I don't see a similar phenomenon with veterinarians.

        eh, good point. I'd probably put them in C tier since the consequences of having to pay too much on your bill isn't as bad as the consequences humans denied medical care face.

          Hey, not trying to simp doctors and nurses but the reason your medical bill is high is not because of them. Yes they are fairly high wage earners but the real costs come from the arms race between insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals each pointing at one another as the "real problem" while they all make bank.

            Literally the reason Australia doesn't have public dental care is because it was too hard to take on both doctors and dentists at the time (before we got coup'd by the CIA and UK)
