  My first thought here was “is this person insane?” but I was thinking root as roots of a plant.

  Why is the extremely important work of early childcare and teaching not valued as highly as banking or mine working?

  This, I think is one of the biggest issues. But, it’s not caused by employers discriminating against women. It’s also not something individual companies can solve. I think it’s an inherent flaw in our capitalist society. Caring for rich people could earn you a decent living, but if you’re caring for the people who really need it… Most of them can’t pay what it’s really worth.

  Also, if there’s people willing to do the job at minimum wage, then there’s going to be CEOs willing to hire them and take all the profit for themselves / shareholders.

  A different context, but I think this is actually a pretty good rule for software engineering. A number of times I was sure a problem was someone elses fault, only for them to find my own silly mistake that I was overlooking. Sometimes the opposite also happens to me. Now I really make sure and typically find the actual root cause of problems before I suggest someone else caused it.
