At least make the courses free! I would’ve been a nurse by now if the tuition was free.

Ummm pay them more, ever thought of that? When a job is more stressful and requires more education, effort and patience wouldn't that deserve way more pay than a grocery store worker whose job is not as demanding?

Let's not forget that there is still discrimination and favoritism in the work place. So maybe that's why younger generations are "deterring" from said "hero jobs"

Heros dont get paid so 🤷

Teachers, EMTs, cops etc etc dont get paid SHIT!! ITS APPALLING. If the powers thst be dont value those positions then why should these young people entering the work force. ?

It's amazing that the headline isn't Gen Z is waking up to reality and won't be taken advantage of by employers lol. Good! Hero jobs either give bad working conditions, lack employee support and don't pay enough.

Her fake smile she is a crazy wet hen trying to just peck at her opponent he showed great restraint her cackle and spending a whole debate with that joker looking fake smile and constant hand gestures she looked completely classless and very in presidential Putin would escalate what ever he wants if she is elected I did not here a single plan on economy from her she looked very dis respectful of the seriousness of the issues that the American public sees Completely out if touch oh no the debate was the deciding point for me Ms Harris is out and Mr Trump in

Do not pursue IT Support jobs. They are extremely low-paid, overworked, and dealing with horrible customers. You are better off just taking a McDonald's job as it just pays as much or even more.

Hey! Be careful lady that railing could be slippery when wet😮

I had to look twice to make sure The Onion hadnt produced this. I mean yes of course 'burn out' is a problem but the REAL problem is social media. No mention of low wages and extreme workloads, no mention of corporate consolidation and union busting, no mention of some policy makers literally promoting AI as an acceptable replacement for your work etc... etc.... Im a community based social worker and I can say with certainty the harshest criticism of the social work profession will be from social workers whether it be on social media or otherwise.

i mean.... my family of nurses couldn't be around for family outings. They were overworked until they went on strike and pursued different careers. i dont need an influencer to tell me much.

I really wish he (van Allen) would have said the word specific more.

“Hero jobs” sounds like a poor attempt to rebrand “essential jobs” or whatever. I’m glad people are highlighting the importance of mental health and not being taken advantage of by a company instead of promoting a silly concept like working hard for more recognition when that means going above and beyond in hopes for a pizza party later. Hopefully enough happens that companies rethink the current structure of their workforce and restructure it in a way where they think, what can they do to provide more for their workers and how to better support them instead of just what they can do to withhold as much as they can in order to profit even if that means burning out their workforce with little to no support being provided. Worked in health care doing non patient facing things, think clerical across different departments, and it took me being in a department with extreme micromanagement and complete disregard to the workers to finally quit and seek a career change. Back in school and hoping things are better once I graduate but I don’t have high hopes at all.

My teenage son is interested in being a firefighter and has spoken with someone at our local station. Never heard him or anyone refer to it as a hero job or speak negatively about it...

God forbid healthcare uses the simple and common sense solution of actually paying nurses a decent fukkin' wage. We have seen their budgets and know they can easily afford it without any need to increase the cost of other services. But we are all supposed to believe that Healthcare is too broke and operating on a tight budget. Yeah Okay. We'll just keep leaking more of your internal financials to the public until here are no nurses left. No nurses, no patient care, no more patients, no more money for healthcare. Plenty of painkillers are available on the streets for much cheaper too. This will help grow the affordable black market. Not like the risks and side effects would be any different than a legal prescription. LMFAO. I would love to see more nurses go on strike until they get an acceptable pay raise. Eventually they will lose so much money that it would be much cheaper to just pay the nurses more. It is relative pennies. And don't BS us otherwise, because we have already seen the financials and know how full of sh1t they are.

Ban it.

One things for sure, trump is easily baited and manipulated. Imagine what others could do him. Weak and vulnerable

Shut it down...only American citizens should be able to vote

When no one is left to feed, house, save, serve and care for them, they’ll see how stupid this all was when it is too late

Y’all talk about how younger generations get news from social media by proving why. This isn’t a branding problem, this is a pricing problem. No one can buy your used house with terrible cheap updates with any salary. It was barely feasible before 2020 and now it’s impossible.

Ive been said this

It doesn’t help where I’m from how many people were forced by hire ups for the jab so ever since the ultimatum, many are doing things that don’t require something like a health passport (you can comment abt how it was for safe reasons and travel and blah blah, but in all reality blue pill lib it was just to monitor you like a social credit system)

If congress can't get this done... then shut it down...!

Who wants to work for a condescending a-hole at a job that judges every single thing you do? Just say "no".

Only AMERICANS SHOULD VOTE! This is actually insanity!

Better pay might help too, there shouldn't be a need for those in 'hero jobs' to have extra jobs/money-making activities just to pay their bills!

Yay! We have an aging population who will tell you: Hero jobs are under-paid, physically demanding/dangerous, have inflexible working conditions and cause burnout. It's critical youth know the truth before investing their education dollars (especially since education is more expensive than ever). The U.S. propaganda machine duped generations of youth into believing the myth hero jobs are morally superior. Women were especially susceptible to this propaganda and flooded into hero job professions driving wages down. Women in my family were teachers, nurses, and piece-rate factory workers. Each of them told me never to pursue these professions because they are mentally and physically grinding. One said her nursing job was so physically taxing she became disabled in her 50s. But she needed to work until her late 60s to qualify for Medicare. Working a job that breaks your body so badly that you cannot perform it to the end of your working life leaves you poor, disabled and reliant on the broken American safety net. She couldn't count on it, neither should you.

pay isnt keeping up!!!!! no pension, no incentive.....My dads a retired union carpenter making 120k off his pension in metro detroit. If i did the same job for the same amount of time my pay and pension would be less than half of what he got...

I was a nurse hero. Nah. I got injured and treated like dog shite. It's not worth it.

Is the GOP holding the economy hostage again?

hope they find him alive, dude needs to be in prison for the rest of his life.

Shut the damn thing down!!!

Shut the government down

PAY THEM MORE! Quit trying to pay hero workers poverty wages.
