A comment on Why do so few people major in computer science? (2017). Parent comment
People in Canada at least don't do more than pay lip service to those professions. They're remunerated poorly and yes, they have low social prestige.
If you wanna pick up a girl at a bar, do you lie and tell her you're a nurse? No, you tell her you're a cardiologist.
Nobody really respects nurses and teachers. Not saying I like it, but that's how it is.
