Having worked as a psych tech and later as an EMT in a major public hospital in Houston, you’d be surprised about how not-well paid many allied health professons are. And the janitors get to clean up the blood and hear the exact same screams or being on the receiving end of drug fueled rage attacks — and they aren’t getting paid much. If you sign up to work in what is effectively a battlefield hospital, you are exposed to the vile underbelly of society on a daily basis. And how does a union matter? It doesn’t shield you from getting attacked or vomited in by violent drunks or attacked by hysterical family members. Let’s say a content moderator got paid $200k per year, that doesn’t change the images they see. This isn’t about money as much as it’s about the requirements and preparation required for the job.
