    Because some people’s job helps others? Like a nurse does what they do to help save lives, not because they enjoy the workload.

      Meanwhile nurses and other care professionals are leaving the field. They love what they do, up to a point.

      Many employers have tried the “if you love what you do, you’ll love it without any raises, benefits or help.” And now there’s a lot of additional administration and bureaucracy to get all those important metrics and KPI.

      Less people are willing to do the training for the job and more are leaving. Same thing happens for teachers, child care, elderly care.
