Top 10 hard-to-fill US jobs

Notice the article said nurses dropped off the list. It's all about supply and demand. When the supply of qualified workers falls, employers will have to increase wages to attract more workers. High school economics 101.

When nursing wages rose due to a shortage of workers, the number of people entering nursing school rose and now apparently supply is catching up with demand.

Same thing happened to me. Son of a bitch turned on all his lights like his shit didn't stink. Even had to show off with a loud siren.

I was convinced it was a cop for a while...but then he started flying around in circles and this fucker didn't have a uniform on so what kind of cop could that be? Then his jetcar flew......okay, just kidding.

No, this was no cop my friend...this was a real mental case.

Until all the boomers start hitting the nursing homes. Then the government will happily allow for more visas from the Phillipines and Jamaica. :D
 
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

I was driving from Miami to Chicago about 15 years ago. Around midnight on I-65 somewhere in Kentucky a truck got up on my ass. I sped up. He sped up. I was driving over 110mph and he stayed with me. I was freaking out like Dennis Weaver in that dreadful 70's flick, Duel. I finally took an exit and chilled....

Are you talking about a pickup or something? I don't know how a 50 ton tractor-trailer can do 110mph.

Mental cases have bats with nails poking out one end...cops have guns. The latter shoot to kill.

Actually, there are more Mexicans in California than in any other state and I'm guessing there are statistics that would point out that Mexicans, proportionate to whites, drive cars with better emissions standards. :D

I am from So Cal too. I have driven in Mexico, Baja and Mainland, have you? I highly doubt most of the drivers give a damn about smog control. Have you flown over Mexico City, the air would make you choke. Part of it is due to altitude though.

Hell when there is an accident in Mexico everybody flees because of Napoleianic law and most have no car ins., guilty until proven innocent. The opposite of the US. I have had lots of fun in Mexico, but I just remember, not matter how drunk, your US rights don't apply at all. It's cash and how fast can you run. :D

Sometimes when I am thinking about having a nice ocenfront condo in the Carribean, I think about having one in Cancun and then I remember the Naplieanic law and I think maybe Panama looks better. There laws are similar to the US, as I recall.

Don't take offense, I recall your post about your Mexican wife, Mexico is just a poor, corrupt country, where you can have lots of fun if you watch your back. :cool:
 
Quote from CaptainObvious:

Lets look at the reasons why?
Sales Rep...most are commission only meaning most people can't take the financial risk.
Teacher...Why bother dealing with the little f'n monsters?
Mechanic...pay hasn't kept up with COLA
technician...pay really hasn't kept up with COLA
Management/exec...don't know that one
Truck Driver...you want to live in a truck for 35K a year? That's what I thought.
Accountant...stupid f'n kids can't make change. How the fuck they gonna' be bean counters?
Laborer....If you're a mexican living with 20 other mexicans, the pay is great. Other than that....
Machine operator...another mfg. job where pay has not even remotely kept pace with COLA. And that's another job long gone to the mexicans.

Mechanics at Lexus, BMW, make over $120k a year with certifications and experience.
