Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Jokes aside, I think it is more that they want to attract the really good people. There already is a complete power imbalance in many science fields, and in applied fields, they will still have to compete with industry jobs.

yea, i think its too heavily geared towards scientists only, and not the technicians, bs holders, MS holders who are doing the majority of the lab work anyways. I dont know if thats what you meant.

but its like that in the states, also i believe its very gatekept because they dont want to hire to many people in research areas otherwise scientist might lowers thier already stingy income. so if you look at job listing you can see that they purposely add many skills or years to discourage people from applying, of course they are also ignoring applications too.

certain parts of health maybe slightly better, like nursing, CLS(although its pretty competitive to even get into the grad program). cant say the same for MED schools though.
