I've been told there would be a pilot shortage since I was in high school. I started flight school in 2005 and was teaching flight school by 2010. I've still never seen anything I would describe as an "opportunity" in the aviation industry.

I would love to be a teacher. I have a teaching license in 2 languages and IT and I can't teach because I have bills to pay. :(

There's a shortage because people is not desperate enough.

Desperate people usually gain an understanding of the job market really soon and what happens when you are too picky

When you guys up there realize that jobs get more and more scarce because they are still getting done, but either by sourcing external talent or AI, that's when the real desperation will kick in

And suddenly, that spot at McDonald's, serving burgers or cleaning bathrooms, will look more appealing

Sadly, by the point this happens, these jobs will also be out of reach because of automation

You are still young, probably. Don't lock yourself out of the job market while waiting for the world to change.

To companies hiring CEOs there is a shortage actually, otherwise they would pay them peanuts.
