What do you think is the most UNPROFESSIONAL sector?

Awful customer service - bad prices - staff who are less capable than trained monkeys! What do you think is the most unprofessional market or sector?

I propose - ESTATE AGENTS! Firstly, any Tom, Dick or Harriet can set one up in the UK - no need for registration, licensing or qualifications. Secondly, they make most money by LYING and MISLEADING both sellers and buyers: you want a 3bed semi, they send you details on a 4bed flat. Thirdly, the money they make has no relationship to their expertise or effort - it could sell in a minute, it could sell in 12months. Fourthly, if they make a fowl-up of your sale/purchase - there is very limited comeback. However, I think the biggest problem is the way they value property - the proverbial three monkeys and a dice could come up with a more accurate answer!

Which profession or sector would you nominate, and why?
