IT is different because that's where the money and the power is (compared to fisherman and male nurses).

Nursing is a well-paid profession that offers flexibility and good benefits.

Fishing can also be a very well paid profession (look at Deadliest Catch for example) but the challenges, hardships, and stress are extreme for those challenging fishing crew jobs.

Hey, I'm not saying Nursing & Fishing aren't good jobs. If you're into that sort of thing then go for it!

But it's not nurses and fishermen who are drastically pushing up the cost of housing in SF. It's the tech industry.

Ah OK, that is definitely true.
