"white males who might want to be daycare workers or nurses"

Given the wages paid to early childhood educators it seems like more of a vocation than a career, like being a priest in a church with a rapidly dying off congregation here in Canada.

Where are the facts to back up your whine about white males and nursing?

I have spent 36 days in hospital since 2016 April & can assure you that there are lots of white male nurses, several with white hair. Ditto for the BC Renal Agency Clinic I go to 3 times a week & the BC Cancer Agency I go to weekly.

This is not a recent concurrence. When one of the UVic Chemistry Profs tried that line in response to comments about low female head counts in Science Faculties back in the 1980s one of the male Profs in the newly establish Nursing Program invited him to come over &have a look at the faculty &student body for himself.

Most Doctors are male, although 2 of the Nephrologists in Victoria are female. I have seen 1 female Cancer Agency Doctor.
