Tempus fugit. Here's why I love the film "Jiro dreams of sushi".
@Red Flag 1 pointed out how acute the nursing shortage is nationwide, and it's an observation that's true also of professions like Law Enforcement and teaching among others.
Once you count yourself lucky enough as a recruiter to have found a "potential" candidate, who is not only willing but qualified, how many years does it take to train them and for them to become proficient in fields that are more and more technical? Some points made in another thread are pertinent.
@Marauder06 pointed out we are all products of our environment and slaves to our experiences, to which I'd add that there is precious little if any effort made to help people break free from the resulting calcification.
It's the scars I don't see which concern me.
In the time we allot ourselves to study, acquire, review, test and practice, practice and test our professional knowledge, the demands of our increasingly overlapping fields increase at an unmanageable rate. I see us, society, receding further behind the curve: automation and AI are the most readily available palliative. There is too much to learn, too much to do, for too many people by people who take too long.
Not to mention the innumerable opportunities to fail in the court of public opinion.
