what amazes me is that professions in the past that used to have apprenticeships or technical courses are now university course professions
and it's unnecessary and expensive and the pay hasn't increased either
another rort is making people pay for back ground checks, not only is that useless it doesn't help with anything other than covering bosses asses and bosses getting kickbacks
I remember a short course that was basically studying/cramming for a test to get an industry certification.
It was $500ish to take the course - and then you’d have to pay the same amount or more to take the actual test to get certified…
Yes a lot of uni courses shouldn't exist and really should be apprenticeships or a form of.
Yeah, it’s pretty gross. Pay for receptionists temping has been about the same for 20 years. Pay for informally trained people who are expected to know what to do in a healthcare setting if a patient codes can be less than $25.
What does $25 pay for these days?
