All building trades are still short supply and high demand.

i think carers are probably the best suited to transition into nursing, but the issue is having to do a 3 year degree to become a nurse. if there was an easier mode of entry, such as vocational programme for nursing it would make things easier for carers to get into.

honestly, the jobs where people are needed are those jobs which are paid poorly for tough physical work. it's not right at all though,

Yeah I wanted to weep when I saw what care providers got paid by one local authority, couldn't believe it, when they (most) recruit their poor care workers on nmw.

A job highly invalued by the wage payers - Yet one of tomorrow's still going to be there jobs.

I saw a news article yesterday that said it was easier to employ a belly dancer than it was a Quantity Surveyor.
We are currently hiring for a QS and struggling. This means that they are demanding much higher pay than usual.

In addition to this, lots of courses have been cancelled for carpenters, furniture makers and joiners.
This means that not now, but not too far in the future there is likely to be a shortage of trained carpenters etc. Good ones are already hard to come by.

Why not take on a belly dance (or other profession) and train them as a QS? It's what companies did when I started work 35 years ago, but these days employers always seem to want somebody else to have paid to train their staff, even though they are the ones who will get the benefit.
