- atmosx 9y agoNot to mention "useful". Imagine nurses going on strike. Now compare that to lawyers, programmers or investment bankers going on strike ... no one cares.
- NikolaeVarius 9y agoWhat happens when IT for a hospital goes on strike?
- twblalock 9y agoNot to mention an airline. The recent British Airways debacle was caused by a technical problem, but if the IT workers had gone on strike, similar problems could have resulted.
- Spooky23 9y agoSame thing that you do when nurses go on strike. You hire a bunch of scabs and muddle through. The difference is that IT usually sucks so much that nobody notices.
- fnord123 9y agoIf it's infrequent enough, reliability may go up as there's a moratorium on production environment changes.
- rodionos 9y agoExactly. Also, the supply of nurses is highly constrained in the Bay Area due to a very small number of people able to graduate. There's actually a lottery to enter a registered nurse program and last time I checked the odds were less than 30% to win the ticket. Besides that, hospitals lose state subsidies if their nurse/patient ratio drops below a certain threshold. It's really apples-to-oranges.
- xxSparkleSxx 9y agoIt's just as much credibility as any college degree in computer science. There are still lots of crappy nurses that are licensed.
