When dealing with a professional advisor (Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant, etc.) do you feel like they put you into a teacher – pupil relationship as opposed to an employer – employee relationship?
You are paying them, don't you deserve more respect?

would you expect a cable guy to tell you where to put your TV.
maby I'v just had a string of unqualified profesionals, but sometimes I feel like I'm doing the work / reserch and they are only validating it with there station, I pay them and yet they still expect me to bow at the door.

I completely agree with you.
I recently had surgergy and was wondering how much money it would take for someone to treat me decently. Or if I could buy a few people in the hospital a personality. I understand these people are there because they are good at what they do but they should be able to relate to their clients on some level and answer a few questions without making you feel like you are in the wrong.
There are some really unprofessional people in the business world that need to understand customer service or even just basic respect for another person. But they must think they are providing a service that you need and you are going to pay money regardless.

I think it should work just like any other business relationship. Since you are the one paying for their services, you should make it clear what your expectations are (mutual respect and help) and not be afraid to go to somebody else if those expectations are not met. At the same time, they are experienced in their fields and as such they might have some good advice to consider, even if it seems meddlesome or disrespectful.

It sounds as though you might have some psychological issues, perhaps resulting from a bad experience with a teacher?
In all seriousness, you pay these advisors for their ability as experts in their fields. They should be courteous, of course, but you are the one showing respect.

Your terminology is a bit shocking. But you are putting it right with the explanation.
You'd rather say the buyer and the supplier.
The buyer is king and the supplier should kiss your... to sell his goods or services.
Usually they are such a beggars, they want to play the big role. Just ignore them and change supplier for a more obedient one.

You are the client right, but they got more knowledge than you in this field. You are paying for their expertise. So live and learn

no, I don't look at them putting me in a subservient role. I look it as I am hiring outside advisors and I will pick their brain for a fee.
