I agree that it is undervalued and maybe because it is seen as a women's job, but that part is speculation. I live in a country with stronger social systems and there are countless interests that keep the pay as low as possible. You would not find a single person that says that nursing isn't important. As I said, you if you want to have a tech job, you currently almost can choose where to work. Men and women alike, so I cannot see that many barriers. I don't buy into the prestige argument at all, it feels far removed from reality. I didn't pick my profession because of prestige and I don't think many people do. This isn't the showbusiness. Do you know what people with strong affinity to tech were called? Nerds. The good payrate is very recent, as are the gender discussions btw.
