Comment: far too broad in scope, per , for a discriminate list to emerge from the subject. The  argument doesn't hold water, as categories and lists have two separate purposes and while they may be complementary, they each have their own separate exclusive guidelines and their functions do not overlap entirely. This is a case where a category is ok and a list is not. Another viable option would be to carefully create sublists, each of a manageable scope that deals with a field notable for its job diversity. We could then use this as a place to link to the sublists. What we can't do is attempt to list every possible occupation on one page

Comment: Our relevant |policy makes it very clear that lists should not be deleted to promote categories instead.  The list performs useful functions which the category cannot such as listing redlinks to assist article development.  And, of course, it scarcely needs saying that the topic is highly notable as there are numerous surveys of occupations from many perspectives.  We can enhance the list to include international standard codes such as http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vqsq_qmyXvQC&pg=PA130 ISCO-68 to again make the list more functional than the category
