7. I work with a number of SKorean nurses

I believe SKorea follows the American model of nursing, like in the Philipines.

They have some badass nurses, (and of course I hate the "traditional womens profession crap"-- does anybody have any idea what I actually DO?? It prefer to think of it as a very difficult profession requiring a number of very specialized skills that happens to be dominated by women, still, it *is* traditional. Alas)


Anyway, the skill set and quality must be just as high in other professions. I've heard stories of training standards. They should be hired and paid accordingly. I know I'm impressed.
