Earlier in the show at around 10 minute mark there are two veterans. They talk about the difficulty of getting a job related to their professional training in the military and then doing a mock interview. Both of the veterans are medics, so the jobs they are interested in are nursing field related. A field where we have a sharp shortage of workers...
Yet it is really hard for veterans to get a job because most professional license boards do not accept military certification or training. Even if they have a lot of experience doing the job in the field, in combat and under fire. They need to go back to school to restart their learning to get some trade licenses.
This is pretty horrible when we are have shortage of these professional across the country and we have veterans who want those jobs. I think it is also an opportunity for entrepreneurs.
There are peoples economic welfare at stake and there is a lot of money to be made, in good way, solving this problem.
Paul Graham maybe you can make a new RFS??
