> Why isn't anyone pushing to have more men go into K-12 education, nursing, etc.?

Did you bother to look, or did you just assume this was the case?

What I think the point was there is no outrage in the blogosphere/twitterverse about the shortage of male nurses.

Are the blogs of IT people or of nurses more likely to be posted here?

Which group is more likely to share their opinions of their work life online in the first people?

I've certainly heard friends in nursing mention this to me in real life.

The internet is a big place - it's pretty easy to find pieces on the shortage of male nurses, including peer reviewed papers and articles by professional organizations.

I think both issues are symptoms of the same underlying problem.
