RE: Job Posting
As is often the case, whenever there is a job posting, there is a
discussion regarding the "low pay" for HPs. This is a fact. While
there is a shortage, one would believe that compensation would go up.
That isn't the case, as we all have observed. Therefore, one must ask
why is this the way it is? I'll hypnotize that the reason we see so
many low salaries for degree required HPs is the opinion of employers
that HPs really aren't that important, highly trained or a necessity.
They therefore can pay lower salaries and still find an HP willing to
work for the "excuse" of a salary.
I have interviewed PhDs who are willing to work for a job that only
requires a BS degree. Until we find employers who understand that HPs
are highly qualified technical workers who demand a higher salary,
the HPs will not be considered as a group worthy of higher
compensation. Until HPs stand up and demand higher salaries, and stop
accepting low paying jobs, this will never change.
In summary, I don';t think we need to continue demeaning every job
poster here on Radsafe. We know the problem, and we now need to find
a solution to the compensation issue. Attacking the poster won't do
it.
