You can become a cop for $0 in a relatively short amount of time, a librarian needs a masters degree, school nurse is either an associates degree or bachelor's, the only one that's relatively easy to become on that list is EMT but it's still a damn sight harder than becoming a cop. I like what they are saying but there won't be a shift until higher education is free.
Or until we require cops to meet some minimum education standard
That would be nice, it still blows me away that ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but cops can just make shit up as they go and not be held accountable when they are wrong.
When a person needs a bachelor's degree to be an administrator or a librarian, but a high school diploma and some vocational education is enough to be given a gun, a badge and the authority that implies, I start to think something might be wrong with the system, not just the people lining up to join it.
A systemic problem you say? Not in my capitalism!
Yes but being an EMT pays between $10 and $15 per hour and often does not even include benefits. God bless every EMT on the road because not a single one is doing it for the money.
I just volunteer, $0/hr but I'm hoping to bridge into nursing at some point.
That is insane. They'll charge $5000/hour for your time and ask for volunteers.
