Nursing school is incredibly difficult both to get into and to complete. There may be a lot of nursing jobs available in your area for this very reason.
You are both missing the point. It’s not about nursing specifically. It’s about the fact that there are plenty of jobs that contribute something to society if you’re willing, whether it’s nursing or teaching, or something very different. Nursing is just one example and I’ve already spent too much time on it, since it’s not the point.
It’s easy to complain about how hard something is and only a little less easy to make a change. But people don’t want a little less easy. I was just calling that out, but that message obviously doesn’t earn you any points on Lemmy, QED, but it’s no less true.
It doesn't matter how willing you are. Nursing schools do not accept just any willing person. When it comes to actually doing the job... it takes a whole lot more than just being willing. The average person CANNOT be a nurse. It's just a very tone deaf and unrealistic thing to suggest.
Intelligence and emotional ability are not the result of willpower. It's actually more comparable to being athletic or physically strong. Sure, most people can improve their physical health, but there is a threshold for how strong you're capable of becoming, determined by genetics and lifestyle. Intelligence and emotional capacity are the same. It's sort of like you showed open positions for being a bodybuilder or an MMA fighter and then said "see? there are plenty of jobs." This makes no real-world sense.
