No, I would agree, goat herder is an honorable profession. Waking before dawn, doing all it takes to maintain the health and wellbeing of your charges, selling them at market, sleeping well after sundown after another day's hard graft.
As distinct from, say, preacher; getting paid for doing nothing else other than lie to your charges, fleecing them for all they're worth, telling them how they deserve their kindling fate unless they buy the cure that only you, special parasite you, can sell them, being trotted out as an authority figure on issues that shouldn't even concern you, and so on ad nauseam. I can't think of another profession that requires that you be either deluded enough actually to believe the lies you're selling or dishonest enough to convince others that you do - except maybe politician, but even they don't get a free pass, and those qualities aren't exactly job requirements anyway (for all they might help). Regardless, honorable isn't even the last thing it is.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
