OMG can't believe Fiona Bruce has just said on @BBCNews lower skilled workers like security guards. Bus drivers and Carers,.... HOW dare she,.. Yes low paid but def not low skills. Carers are highly skilled and yes I do agree this group are high risk of covid. Essential workers

I class myself as a carer I have been a nurse for over 40yrs with degrees, diplomas etc so highly skilled carer,
-
Carers in the common sense of the word. I dont include nurses in that as that is a completely separate profession that takes a lot of training. Nurse are skilled. Carers are not.

I agree. Carers, not nurses are not skilled. Generally you don’t need any qualifications or experience for the job. Not saying they they don’t become skilled with experience because they probably do.

1. And you know this how, Hannah? Come & walk a day in my shoes, on a 13hr shift with no break, & see how unskilled I am, supporting adults with LDs. From early morning administering meds, through whole day ensuring emotional, physical & wellbeing needs met.

Says the person who has never been a carer. Can I suggest you work in a care home for 6 months and then come back and say that.
-
Sure. Can I suggest you walk into an operating theatre and claim you're a high skilled worker and will take over the operation? See the difference? THATS a high skilled job. Caring is low skilled. BOTH are valuable.

What utter disrespect for your daughter. Are you that disrespectful to all people in predominantly female jobs? Being a carer, a good one, takes a lot of skill but they are not skills you respect because they are deemed 'female'.
-
Wow, thats a reach. By that same token, you are utterly disrespecting and devaluing all the male carers out there, in an oppressively female dominated career. How dare you sir! Male carers have feelings too, and deserve respect! Two can play that game.

I think you're wrong. I value it highly. Nothing I have said in this thread in any way suggests otherwise, yet still people are piling on because I had the temerity to call low skilled work low skilled.
