Is it an industry that can get away with relatively low pay and bad hours, because it offsets those by preying on the stereotypical fantasies of young boys "I want to be a pilot when I grow up", thus making it difficult to attract "normal" career minded individuals?

- belorn 11y agoIts a common trend when I see an article about a profession that is having trouble to find enough people to recruit. Nurse, midwifes, carpenters, preschool teachers, dentists, plumbers, and so many more professions only recruit from one half of the population, and has thus problems when demand fluctuate.
