$14/hour was definitely NOT ENOUGH for 13-hour shifts lifting people, changing diapers and wiping butts


That's a little under median wage. I'm curious what people think in general - which jobs do you think should earn wages below median? Some jobs, like this one, don't require many skills, but are difficult labor. Some jobs require substantial skills, but are easier labor. Do you want wages based on the level of labor effort or based on the skills required?


I beg to differ. Shoveling dirt or maybe harvesting cabbage doesn't require many skills but is hard labor.

But properly caring for those unable to care for themselves is a different matter altogether. Should I find myself on the receiving end of such care, I certainly hope my caregiver knows more that how to load or unload a wheelbarrow.

As to your question of wages, when it comes to effort/skill/knowledge, it doesn't have to be either/or.
