Police are a great example of this. The biggest police departments all struggle to recruit today. They are always hiring and have dropped standards to reach out for more candidates. Why? Anyone with a brain knows the best job in policing is some little wealthy suburban pd where your biggest situations will be dealing with teenagers partying when their parents leave them the house for the weekend. Versus you know, dealing with people on meth or actual organized crime. As such those small town PDs are very difficult to join, and can enforce higher standards namely in education (such as a B.S. requirement) and still have plenty of good candidates. Probably also explains when you see something real happen in these small towns, like a school shooting, and the cops are just clearly too scared to go into the school themselves. Just not what they were expecting to deal with at all when they signed up for the doctor and lawyer suburb pd.
