If you're competing with Amazon's shit wages, you aren't paying anything to attract people for what's hard labor and a long educational cycle.

What, for record profits while paying your employees the absolute minimum possible?

How about. "Fuck You".

I can't see how a skilled job is supposed to be competing with Amazon's warehouse in Etna.

They pay decent out there for warehouse work, but you're worked like a dog. You want someone to come into a hospital where it requires education and/or skills and "you're competing with Amazon?" Cry more, you aren't paying enough.

No kidding. Its the same thing with the whole "Fast food workers should make $25/hr". No, they should not.

Why the fuck would I bother with skilled labor that requires education and years of experience if I can just go ask someone if "they want fries with that" for $25/hr.

It will lead to collapse. Those jobs are intended to be a foot up into something else. Not a life long career.

I think the warehouse here is paying 18-20, depending on the job. That's shit, but it's not bad for a warehouse grunt.

There is something very seriously wrong if hospitals are competing with Amazon. Unless Amazon will be offering medical procedures soon. Kinda surprised that hasn't happened yet.

The Mrs. has a couple friends in nursing. Universally, its a meat-grinder job unless you get on a surgical team with an 8 to 5 schedule. Then after you put in 25 or 30 years, you're subjected to age discrimination - because nurses are an expense whose wages can't be directly billed. Get a new bean counter, and the hospital looks to cut overhead, and most nurses are overhead. Going the physicians assistant route is the way out.

So yeah - the hospital and Amazon career paths are similar once you adjust for the wage differential. Everything has turned to garbage.

Oh wait!!! How about all those illegals? Can't you just turn them into clinicians?

Frankly, I hate going into clinics/hospitals, so many DEI hires and affirmative action hires. Just recently, I had an LGBT doctor and his assistant show up. Their attitudes sucked!
