Re: An HP Position is Open in Texas [License Reviewer,Medical andAcademic Licensing Program]

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

You may have misinterpreted my comments.  What am

implying is that this is another attempt for a

government to save money by failing to invest in

qualified personnel.  Sure, you may get people to

apply (the job market is tight), but then you have to

training them to a certain level of competency.  By

offering more money, you may bring on a more qualified

and experenced HP.  It appears they are filling a

"need."



I certainly think there are qualifed people in state

programs.  But what is the future going to be like if

compensation at the state level does not compare with

those of the regulated.  You will constantly be

introducing variations between experienced and

inexperienced into the regulatory business.



And what human capital crisis are we talking about.
