Perhaps they are trying to augment the number of available HP/RP types to make it cheaper to get them. If the market has an abundance of us, we tend to work cheaper?

I'll have to disagree.  That's unfair to many well-qualified people who

take low wage jobs for various reasons, especially when the job market

is tight.  One problem I 've found with hp jobs is that, to get a

well-paying job, you often have to be willing to relocate.  If you

can't, you may be stuck.



That's why I don't understand how the HPS can lobby for government

funding to train more hp's when I don't see any demonstrated demand for

them in the job market.  I am skeptical about those studies that show a

"need" for more hp's.  They often seem to be self-serving.  "Need" is

NOT "demand."  Need is what the person doing the study thinks employers

should hire.  Demand is what employers are actually willing to pay for.



The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about dose it's about trust.

Curies forever.
