This is exactly what happened to manufacturing and chip making of 40 years of "free trade". We lack the skilled staff for these jobs.

Continuing on the nursing topic, well before covid there was a shortage of nurses, then the media blitz convinced many people to get degrees... There were so many looking for work that wages plummeted.

It's all a shell game. The goal is to make the labor suplly huge so they can dictate wages, which they did.

They did it with programmers overthe last ten years... Now nobody can find a job.

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

travelling nurses seems to be the way to go, to earn bank. being a staff at a hospital or medical center doesnt seem attractive, unless your in a really backwoods state like a red one, where they let nurses fall to the cracks to be hired. Also the pandemic, people during thier university years wernt learning anything so they were also fucked from the start, since everything was online and not in person, thats why im seeing such bad reviews in universities in my area. the first 2 years is pretty much crucial to determine your strength in your degree, and then some experience, which was probably non existent during covid, like with labs and research.
