Doctors, for instance. You hear no end of stories about how incredibly high pressure medicine is with insane hours and stress, but will they increase university placements so they can actually hire enough trained staff to meet the workload? Absolutely fkn not, that would impact salaries.

University placements aren’t the problem. Medical residencies are funded through Medicare and have been numerically capped. You could graduate a million MDs a year and if none of them have a training pipeline, we still lose.
