Shortages because these jobs pay shit money to put up with a lot of bs.
Yes, because wages are being suppressed by CEOs. Statistically if you are in the USA you’ve got a roughly 30% chance to earn a million dollars in your lifetime. You cannot physically earn a billion dollars. At the dollar’s current rate. You don’t have enough lifetimes. You’re more likely to win the powerball 4 times in a row than have a trillion dollars.
If all the pilots, teachers, and nurses disappeared overnight there would be mayhem. If all the CEOs disappeared overnight literally nothing would change. How about we replace the actual pointless jobs with AI like the CEOs that pretty much do nothing by comparison.
We don’t make these decisions. It’s unsurprising that the people who do make them have given themselves all of the money.
While it’s probably the single easiest job to offload onto AI we will need actual humans to take the fall for the boards decisions for the foreseeable future.
“We deleted the software responsible for our most recent ecological disaster” doesn’t have the same weight as firing an actual person.
It’s a lot cheaper than the golden parachutes.
I’ve been saying this since day one… Make the AI’s replace these fucking useless pieces of shit. Replace MOST managers, in fact, as well.
I would love to be a teacher. I have a teaching license in 2 languages and IT and I can’t teach because I have bills to pay. :(
That’s so sad. My sister-in-law is a high school teacher and she still bartends at least two nights a week to make enough money to live.
On a nicer note, maybe some of your co-workers would be interested in learning a second language? Maybe you could just make it part of the work day sometimes?
The only shortage is a wage shortage.
And now the insurance industry has a shortage of money, to pay out on insurance claims. Even though everyone paid all of their money. Every month. Every month for their health insurance. And every month for their home owners insurance. And then when it comes time to pay 🤷 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷 where is the money? Better start increasing everyone else’s monthly rates.
How about a manufactured CEO shortage, the French way? 🤔
De-manufacturing is a better word
I wanted to be a pilot very badly. I was told that the good paying pilot jobs would die with the previous generation of pilots. I was told that airlines don’t need to pay good money for pilots anymore. So, it’s no surprise that there’s a shortage of people who were willing and able to sacrifice the incredible amount of money and time required to become a commercial pilot. The airline executives very much made their own mess.
I’ve been told there would be a pilot shortage since I was in high school. I started flight school in 2005 and was teaching flight school by 2010. I’ve still never seen anything I would describe as an “opportunity” in the aviation industry.
I’ve been screaming this for years: THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE! There is a shortage of nurses willing to deal with the shitty conditions they push on us! It’s not healthy for us or the patients!!!
To be pedantic, there are a shortage of nurses in hospitals, due to manufactured conditions.
Post-covid proof people don’t appreciate the true backbone. Bangs more pans
Just look at what happened during COVID.
All the jobs marked as “essential” back then would probably be a solid proportion of the grease of society. People would riot if they suddenly stopped existing.
well unfortunately these shortages do not generally affect billionaires (not directly atleast).

To companies hiring CEOs there is a shortage actually, otherwise they would pay them peanuts.
No, CEO pay is a kickback/grift. CEO pay is decided by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors is made of CEOs of other companies. What they’re doing is all colluding to inflate each other’s wages and then using that as a justification after the fact to demand higher pay for themselves, lying that it’s due to “the market.”
They don’t think of it that way. They think “we are paying this person for what I know is a tough job and the value they bring to it.” Even though they are definitely colluding. Boeing’s board is probably one of the most egregious examples. Dave Calhoun let a door plug fall off and abandoned two people in space, but he still got a huge severance package. Gross.
They don’t think of it that way in public, you mean. I’m sure they’re laughing their asses off behind closed doors, though.
