The Most Desired Job of 2025 Isn't in Tech or Finance — and It's Been Searched 21 Million Times

Just got out of hospital after a 10 day stay for a liver resection. (They got it all, Thank God) I was among angels the whole time. They cleaned me, they cared for me in the middle of the night, they kept my spirits up with their positive, helpful attitude. There is no modesty in a hospital, but they were modest. As a retired Medical Device Engineer, I embarassed to ask them to do some tasks I could not do myself. All the nurses I encountered in my stay were
gentle and caring. May God Bless Them All.

Speaking of chicks, I’ve noticed over the past several years that conventional doctors are being replaced by women nurse practitioners. And the ranks of actual doctors are heavily infiltrated by women. I’m wondering why men do not want to be doctors anymore?

[9YearLurker]

Not the first job likely to be destroyed by “AI”.

It’s popular until you find out what it entails.

And, in 10-12 years there won’t be the need.

Right now the “boomer” generation is a bulge going through the system. The need for nurses will remain high as that generation uses a much higher percentage of medical services. Ones they die off…the need will fall off.

Of course, if America remains obese, the need might remain high as younger people will need a lot of orthopedic and cardiac care.

[9YearLurker]

Also the highest rates of marrying doctors?

[9YearLurker]

Lots of professional jobs with professional salaries require those hours. Wouldn’t surprise me, however, if they had to change that with the new generation of workers.

Don’t worry globalists will flood us with 3rd worlders to fill medical staff. Citizens need not apply.

I’ve known of several doctor/nurse pairings. I’ve also heard that their is a relatively high rate of hanky panky going on between and among medical practitioners. I’ve also heard of that with respect to pilots/stewardesses. It may be just a matter of proximity and opportunity.

I’ve also known of police officer/emergency nurse pairings. If I hadn’t been married during my career, I could have imagined dating a nurse or two. Oh, and I know for a fact that there is some significant hanky panky between cops and other cops, and between cops and nurses. A lot of it has been hearsay, and I have no idea if the incidence is any higher than among other professions.

And any apparent reduction in the number of doctors may be a result of the cost and rigors of medical school/internships and the cost of operating a practice, including the cost of malpractice insurance.

RE: Don’t worry globalists will flood us with 3rd worlders to fill medical staff. Citizens need not apply.

The country that supplies the most number of trained nurses ( yes, they’re well trained and pass our rigid nursing exams ) is the Philippines.

In fact you see them now in many western countries worldwide ( including the UK and Canada ). But it’s not just western countries, it’s also ARAB countries ( e.g., UAE and Saudi Arabia ).

And statistics show that Filipinos are the second highest earning ethnic group in the USA. The highest earning are Indians. On average, the earn more than White folks.

I have similar thoughts on the matter. My current doctor’s nurse at the VA is quite good looking and is a flirt. She’s fun to be around, but that’s it. There’s also a male nurse there, and I’ve seen them both out in public, and they are both married, but not to each other.

And I suspect hanky panky between a nurse practitioner and a doctor at the cardiology department.

It really does not matter what profession or job we are talking about, if two people of the opposite sex work together long enough there will be hanky panky.

At my last job before retirement I had a co-worker come right out and asked me to go make out. I refused and she was forever highly suggestive from then on.

The job before that a coworker told me she could be my “service station” at work. I refused. She found another guy, she got pregnant, told her husband, who told the other guys wife, and that other guy was divorced.

I can go on and on, but this happens all over the place.

“I’ve also heard that their is”

There

And I even proofread and missed it.

Nursing/EMT/Paramedic also has the quickest burn out rate. BTDT

“Gee, none of those jobs are on MY list of most desirable:
Indy race car driver
Jet pilot
Swimsuit photographer

Guess I’m out of touch.”

Fighter or Commercial jet?

With the emergency services, there is a phenomenon called trauma bonding. It is shared experiences of everything that happens in emergencies and shared experiences, along with the physical attraction that occurs between personnel when they are all attractive and in shape.

[Larry Lucido]

Yep, there is definitely something to that.

[rlmorel]

So true. The security was worth it to my wife. Heck, it was worth it to me-I would never have met her otherwise!

[rlmorel]

Right...it IS a “hands-on” job.

[null and void]

Good gravy! How much does the typical doctor make in the San FranCrisco Gay Area?

Almost enough to afford the rent.

"...I’ve known of several doctor/nurse pairings..."

I have known a lot of them. Some are legit, but there were a number that I knew of that weren't. We had one Cardiologist I had to work with who was married and professionally, was a royal a-hole. Really. He was seeing a woman on the side who was good friends with my wife (they worked together in the CCU). They had a thing going on for years. I heard all the stories. Bah. He was a jerk to work with, and cheated on his wife to boot. Pathetic. No respect professionally, no respect personally.

[Hattie]

If only most of them would work in hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities, with the very ill. Most want to wear high heels and have sit at the desk jobs on nurse pay.
