The modern world is developing with an unseen speed and complexity and the customs, habits, rules of conduct and moral values are put to an unprecedented pressure. The comprehension of modern man is also crushed by the diversity and intricacy of various doctrines and practices and the research programs in humanities become manifold and fuzzy. In this overrated world, the vocational professionals as the priest, teacher, ethicist, social worker or psychologist are the most affected by the global turmoil. These professions require in advance the construction of a solid, autonomous self-determination and confidence based on a deep fourthperson open understanding. The missing cultural landmarks increase the difficulty of completing their tasks, more than in any other professions. The mutual understanding is passing through a profound selfunderstanding and, as Isaac Asimov put it, the future of human rest more on the capacity of society to gather wisdom, than of science to gather knowledge. The treasurers of humanity‘s wisdom are the vocational professions, which are now disregarded and marginalized in the blind rush for economic and technological progress, the pragmatic ―civilized‖ relations and superficiality mass-understanding, that is alienating. This article analyzes the deep perils on the success of professional and personal development of such workers and the misapprehensions and self-delusions they could be caught.
