- punchfunk4lyte 1y agoYou've never heard of programs to encourage men to be nurses or teachers? I certainly have. Here's what I found after a quick search. If you're interested I'm sure you could research and find more information. https://www.arizonacollege.edu/blog/men-wanted-new-efforts-to-attract-male-nurses/ https://www.arizonacollege.edu/blog/men-wanted-new-efforts-t... > Only 12% of the nurses providing patient care at hospitals and health clinics today are men. Although the percentage of nurses has increased — men made up just 2.7% of nurses in 1970 — nursing is still considered a “pink collar” profession, a female-dominated field. https://www.belmont.edu/stories/articles/2025/men-in-education.html https://www.belmont.edu/stories/articles/2025/men-in-educati... > A critical shortage of male teachers continues to affect K-12 education across America, with men making up just 23% of elementary and secondary school teachers today, down from 30% in 1987, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Belmont University's College of Education is addressing this gender gap through intentional recruitment, mentorship and innovative program design.
