There is a lot of technology involved in healthcare and teaching.
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoIn fact, healthcare technology, specifically user interfaces, needs all of the brilliant people it can get.
- olewhalehunter 9y agoAs a former medical tech developer, the problems in healthcare are almost entirely social/political and the healthcare tech business is making things worse in most respects.
- whowouldathunk 9y agoNew drugs are making things worse? Tell that to my oncologist friends. STEM is more than CRUD apps.
- olewhalehunter 9y agoFetanyl was a new drug at some point. Pharmaceuticals are over prescribed, healthcare businesses are a leech on the infrastructure, American lifestyles are inherently unhealthy, and no amount of new drug patents are going to fix those problems. Your oncologist friends might have new drugs to prescribe but that doesn't change the core problem of soaring cancer rates due to lifestyle and environmental issues.
- Spivak 9y agoOkay, you know exactly what is meant when people in this forum talk about tech. Being pedantic about the word technology isn't helping this discussion.
- EduardoBautista 9y agoThat doesn't make school teachers or nurses any less important or necessary.
- whowouldathunk 9y agoIf a nursing school made a push for recruiting more male nurses I wouldn't feel like my software engineering career was a wrong choice.
- Spivak 9y agoYou do know that is exactly what's going on, right? There are plenty of male only scholarships in nursing school and schools put forth considerable effort to assuage the fears that men have entering the field and provide special accommodations and support for them including campaigns to get their co-workers to stop calling them 'male nurses'.
- whowouldathunk 9y agoYes, and I'm saying I don't see anything wrong with that.
- wan23 9y agoMeanwhile, nursing as a profession is seeking more men to increase diversity as well.
