[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nurse. I think nurses and teachers (and other professions that are not as well compensated as some of the DCUM professions) wouldn't complain as much if our salaries had kept up with inflation. No one goes into these professions to make loads of money, but you want to be able to make a living. As far as demand/supply. Maybe that works more in the corporate world? In places with nursing shortages, they are not increasing wages. They hire travel nurses (who are $$ but cheaper than hiring staff with benefits long tern), they push the limits on staffing to dangerous levels. Some hospitals have began to hire foreign born nurses so they do not have to spend as much money. As far as teaching, is it really a supply/demand issue? [b]I mean Florida is hiring people without any qualifications to teach. [/quote][/b] Those people are teaching. They are warm bodies brought in to babysit because kids can't sit in a classroom unattended.[/quote]
