A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

i would say programmers and engineers, if you asked people in the mid 2010s, everyone was all trying to get into it. its still reliable if you are heavy into AI maybe? almost every other stem job have very low prospects for the last decade+.
pharmacists used to be a decent job with security, but now its stagnant i heard for the most part(sitll have to pay a ton for grad school, although its easier to get into pharm school than a stem/research/non-MD health. grad program. CLS was pretty much a mainstay for cmb majors who are going into biotech, until competition became more and more over the years(basically you are competiing for a few schools in a state with thousands of others from out of state). job site/slop worsened all of this.
govt jobs before trump took over was a "dead end" but stable job with retirement benefits, but ever since its extremely volatile. same goes with stem research.
Nurses seems the reverse, it got better over time, as far as paywise goes and more mobility depending if you are doing travelling nurses. i think retail for the most part, people stay long term, because for many reasons thier other areas of employment isnt panning out.
Engineers are still needed, just not software engineers (help me)
Nursing is still feeling the effects of 50 years ago, when graduating they told you half wouldn't be able to be employed since the Market was oversaturated.
However the nursing shortages today are largely artificial or the result of doctors being unrelenting egotistical assholes. Travel nurses and labor pools where once the day of picking up shifts where needed. But now a ton of RNs will quit their employment at a hospital, then become a traveler, staffed at that same hospital for 3 months and make almost a year's wages, then move on to the next hospital. Rinse repeat
i dont think its the MDs fault but the hospital systems, and now PE and teledoc companies are snatching up those doctors.
