What a sad attitude.

Sad but true nevertheless

Being a nurse (we have several friends who are nurses) is a great job and an
important one. snip
It's an important job these days and it's sad that anyone thinks caring for the
elderly is thankless.

Nevertheless, however much the compos mentis elderly might thank
for the caring, generally the job is thankless. Like many
vocations, one does it for motivations which are not primarily
monetary nor opportunity-driven.
