Yea, i mean they really are comin up with new machines all the time. You got a point. Maybe they will finda cure fer Lou Garegs disease. My dads friend died of that Monday.

I'm sorry to hear that ._. I hope your friend is alright.

Kaga's posting something long...I can feel it XP

 

[Croconaw]

Hes dead. How is he alright?

 

[Chibi-chan]

Hes dead. How is he alright?

Whoops XD I thought you said your friend's dad. I'm so sorry!! Really I am!

 

[Croconaw]

Its aight. Kaga might hav logged off.

 

[Johnny Boy~]

He's dead. How is he alright?

Sorry to hear that, I hope he went to a better place. That would be how he is alright, if he went there.

Sorry to hear that LT. That's really sad. I've heard that disease can be devastating. Unfortunately, I don't think scientists will ever be able to cure some diseases. If they did, the world would become overpopulated though, so I guess it could be a good thing. :\

 

[Croconaw]

Yea, it shuts down your muscles i think. *thinks* I think so. If not, im close.

hi all^^, it's beena long time since I was here...again XD, I finally got 16 today and....I have no power at home, some kind of accident there, I actually had to eat breakfast in the dark, good thing my laptop has battery, if not I'd die of boredom o.o, so far I got a heartbeat thingie for exercise, my mom sure knows me XD

 

[Chairman Kaga]

I think with upcoming technology, doctor's won't be at the high end of the pay check, but mechanics and engineers will. They'd be the one making all the technology :3 So...they might be the ones to stay in college longer. Pharmacists will still be in control though. Everything might be cured with a simple dosage XP

Unfortunately I see neither of these types of jobs ever becoming some of the most lucrative; on the part of doctors and pharmacists, it's indicative to me that they've reached their peak because of how often teachers urge their students to pursue the career. Admittedly I find it disheartening that not only are teachers emphasizing material wealth but they focus so narrowly on this handful of occupations as if it is the only chance for success for anyone who goes to public school (as in, there's no hope of them being particularly worthwhile or valuable people so they had might as well make as much money as possible.) It it always either pharmacist or doctor that is mentioned, but I do not see this trend lasting long because of the sheer quantity of people who take these aspirations as their own leaving high school.

No less than five people in my very small graduating class are already planning to be pharmacists despite their knowing that 80% of aspiring pharmacists do not make it to the industry; I assume that a higher percentage of doctors make it to their field but the end result usually is the same; the image of the successful and wealthy practicioner is always reserved for a privileged few with the rest having to shelve their aspirations in order to engage in a humble career in a low-paying country position where medical and pharmaceutical care is most needed. With this happening more and more from the overflow of individuals going into these careers the reputation of it being dead-end will eventually make its way back to the places where these misbegotten dreams began and new careers will be targeted in the way doctor/pharmacist is now.

The same goes for engineering, which is the non-academic equivalant of the optimal hot job. The problem is that these kind of jobs will never be at the top because of their nature of work based on the needs of others of construction work; there will always be sick people but the ebb and flow of the economy will cause upswings and downswings in need for construction that make the market unpredictable. This is not even considering that technology is an engineer's worst enemy; in all fields of work machine is taking the job of man and a job that relies so much on tools and precision is going to be highly susceptible to this kind of advancement.

And, I digress, as I'm sure this conversation is long over and I've typed far too much.

Just for future reference, please try to relate to the topic at hand before changing the subject, okay? The DCC rules require you to keep to the topic. ^^;;

Happy birthday, by the way. And having no power must really suck. ><;;

lol sorry about it XD, yeah, it does suck, thank god it's back, though my cable thing seems to be damaged At The Moment, it lags bewteen channels o.o

 

[Naminé]

It disheartens Naminé to see that a great post from a staff member went unnoticed by anyone. Naminé must not laid waste to Mr. Chairman Kaga's efforts and his well written post in the DCC.

Naminé doubts that this will be true. The high academic mark required to enter the medical field almost always ensures that there aren't enough doctors for the job, yet they cannot lower the requirement because the fine quality of a lifesaving doctor must be maintained. The only way they can possibly boost the amount of doctors is by encouraging more people to enroll into the field. Though many may possibly fail to be a doctor, luckily the program is setup so that they can transfer to other faculties easily. Naminé knows that the pre-requisite for the medical field coincides with many other scientific field. The other fields act as a safety net so that those who unluckily, failed to be a doctor, have alternatives to guarantee their living. These other jobs are nowhere near the lower end of all jobs either, such as lab researchers or the field of immunology, and etc~

Though there are machines to do the work, Naminé thinks that there is a need of a leader, and other group of people to do all the planning necessary to put the advanced machines into a good use. Hence, engineers are in need. Though that is the case, Naminé agrees that engineers rely on others as the basis for a need to even hire them~

Environmental field is Naminé's guess for the next popular trend in occupation. With the heated talks and deep concern regarding the degenerating atmosphere and pollution, it seems that the need for more specialists within this field can only increase at an exponential rate~



Power shortage used to scare Naminé a lot when she's younger... it is scary when the lights are all out, and the TV shuts itself down, and plunge young Naminé into a world of total darkness~

Somehow, Naminé senses that the staffs hate her for reasons beyond her comprehension and out of the imaginary world which she encloses herself into...

That happens to all of the great posters, they are ignored, and over written.

Teacher's are encouraged to tell their students what fields are the best for working in. There are some teachers that do tell kids the reality of things, do what you really want, but know that in no way will you be making anywhere near the amount of money that a doctor or technician would be. But the field is still a small one, for good doctors of course.

But yeah, the medical field is one that will never have too many jobs. People get sick all the time, there's always a shortage of staff in hospitals, and those with no shortages usually have poorly trained staff. It's a rare thing to find a good hospital in running order with good staff.

That happens to all of the great posters, they are ignored, and over written.

People don't like to read a lot apparently.

o_o Yeah, Namine (sorry, I dunno how to do the e with the accent ><) but I agree with you entirely o_o It bothers me, too, when I see lengthy quality posts going unnoticed, because then the other person thinks "Why am I writing so much for if no one's going to listen?" and therefore it's having sorta like a domino-effect on people (which might contribute to why people are posting so shortly)

o_o And yeah like, for schooling and stuff, I wanna be an animator, but I dunno how much math I need for that o_o;; Nevertheless, I still take University-level math, but it's really weird.. I understand everything completely, and then I go to do the test and I get a crappy 70% on it --; I even tried getting a tutor.. but he didn't really help because he's like "Yeah.. you know it already! I dunno why you're doing bad."
o_o and arrgghh!

X3 And I -love- power shortages at nighttime <3 <3~

It is a shame that he put his own time in that post just for it to be ignored. I hate when that happens. ><

Power shortages are awesome at night. Except for the heat. XP

 

[Chibi-chan]

Kaga, you sure do PM a lot D: [/stalk]

Hence why I'm going to summarize Kaga's posts for him XP Then everyone will read them and reply to his hard work :3

I say what I say because the definition of quality medicine is relative to where one lives. It is true that increased medical staff is necessary due to increase in elderly people and population in general , but I believe that training in general is too poor for those going into the medical field, possibly in part because of the increase in people entering the field decreases each individual's share of time doing important intern work and other educational on-the-job experience, especially if one has the aspiration to be a doctor but not the means to afford one's own education, in which case they are relegated to small medical and nursing schools that, by their small nature, provide less opportunity to practice anywhere except for slow-activity country hospitals and outpatient offices. I have encountered the entire spectrum of physicians (of similar age, because of course I realize this is a factor) in regards to quality from clueless country bumpkins to living medical encyclopedias and, therefore, the only conclusions that can be drawn from such variance in ability are that influence from educators either played into their desire to become a doctor or their medical education itself; while one doctor still cannot physically do the work of multiple mediocre doctors, lower-end physicians like nurses and technicians are more versatile from their general medical training than they are given credit for and therefore we have many untapped resources that we can use to fill perceived gaps in the quantity of quality physicians.

Though there are machines to do the work, Naminé thinks that there is a need of a leader, and other group of people to do all the planning necessary to put the advanced machines into a good use. Hence, engineers are in need. Though that is the case, Naminé agrees that engineers rely on others as the basis for a need to even hire them~

Ah, you misinterpreted me; I did not say machinery would completely replace men in the engineering field; my intent was to say that the field will become more narrow in the future but, of course, the base of any construction field will always be manpower. I simply see some of the more commonly-hazardous positions and those needing great precision being phased out in years to come.

Teacher's are encouraged to tell their students what fields are the best for working in. There are some teachers that do tell kids the reality of things, do what you really want, but know that in no way will you be making anywhere near the amount of money that a doctor or technician would be. But the field is still a small one, for good doctors of course.

I don't mind teachers telling their students what fields are best for working in or most in demand, but I was using the personal example of my school (and I realize I generalized by saying "public schools", but I feel that my school is rather representative of most low-end public schools from what I've observed) to state that I see it as wrong that the teachers encourage material success above all else; there are many other in-demand jobs besides medical ones but those are entirely excluded because they are somewhat less lucrative. I merely wish my school's focus was a bit more broad and didn't contain the message "either be [such and such job] or be a failure"; because we are left to our own devices when job searching and it seems that, because of this, those few who do not take the pharmacist/doctor route each year almost invariably take up farming or grade-school teaching. Honorable professions, but when they're chosen as frequently here as they are, something in the system is obviously broken.
