Ko te kaituhituhi
He aha te take o nga tāngata i whakamutua ai?
Ko ia tauine utu i tēnei pae e whakaahua ana i ngā tāngata e mahi ana. E whā tau i muri i te whakamutu i tētahi āhuahira U.S., kāore ētahi wāhanga o ia whakaakoranga i te whiwhinga i runga i te pūkete i tētahi wāhi — kāore he utu, kāore he moni mahi-whāiti. Ka ine te kāwanatanga ā iwi, ā, ka whakaputaina e ia tētahi whare wānanga i tētahi wā. Ka pānui i ngā papatono, ko te mea tata rawa ki te mokatere whakapeka mō tētahi āhuahira.
Ko te mokatere tino kino i whakaputaina i konei, i runga i te papatono: Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma.
Ko te uara tino pai i whakaputaina i konei: Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree.
Ko ngā tāngata i roto i ngā papatono katoa i raro nei i oti, i whakamutua te akoranga, ā, kāore he moni whiwhinga i te whakawhiwhia e whā tau i muri mai. 1,015,000.
Kāore i te ōrite te "kore mahi" ki te "kore mahi", ā, kāore te rerekētanga i te āhua o te mahi.
Ko te inenga ko te kore o tētahi pūkete moni whiwhinga mō te tau katoa — kāore he utu i runga i te W-2, kāore he moni whiwhinga tōrunga i runga i te whakawhiwhinga tāke. Kāore he tangata i roto i tēnei raraunga i pātaihia mēnā e hiahiatia ana e rātou he mahi. Nā reira ko te tatau kei roto i ngā tāngata i kōwhiria kia kore e mahi: te whakawhanake i ngā tamariki, te tiaki i tētahi whanaunga, te haere, te ako i tētahi mea kāore i te āhua o te waeine, te noho i runga i te moni whiwhinga o tētahi hoa, te neke atu rānei ki waho. Kei roto hokia tangata e hiahia ana ki te mahi ā, kāore i taea te whiwhi i a ia. Kāore e wehea ngā mea e rua i tētahi wāhi, e tētahi tangata, ā, kāore e whakaaro ana tātau i te wehenga. Ko te mea e whakatauria ana e te whika ko te maha o ngā tāngata i oti te whakawhanaketanga, ā, e whā tau i muri mai, kāore i whiwhi i tētahi mea mai i a ia, mai i tētahi atu mea rānei — ko te pātai e whakamātau ana te tau tōpū o te moni whiwhinga.
Ko wai e tatau ana, ko wai e kore ana
Ko nga tāngata anake i whiwhi i te āwhina ā-iwi o te ākonga. Ko te kohoro i hangaia mai i te pūnaha ā-iwi o te ākonga me te pūnaha whakawhiwhinga, kia kore ai ngā kaikōrero i utu i tō rātou ake ara, tata ki te haurua o ngā ākonga US. Mēnā he pai ake, he kino rānei te haurua kāore i whakaputaina, ā, ko te mea nui rawa kāore e mōhiotia e tātau mō ēnei tau.
Kāore ngā tāngata e ako ana i te wā o nāianei i roto i tētahi tīwae. Ko te tangata i oti te mātauranga, ā, ka haere hāngai ki te mātauranga, ka whakawāteatia mai i te mahi me te tatau kore mahi, he pono: kāore rātau i angitu ki te kimi mahi, kāore rātau i rapu, ko te tikanga hoki ko te ōrautanga he wāhanga o te iwi i mahue te mātauranga, ehara i te wāhanga o ia tangata i whakawhiwhia ki te mātauranga.
He nui ake te mātauranga o te papatono ā-iwi i te mahi. Ka whakaputaina ngā papatono i te mārō-mati e whā, ā, kāore i te iti ake. Ko te rārangitanga, te rongoā hau, me te hangarau ārai e tiritiri ana i tētahi waehere; e tiritiri ana te rongoā ā-tinana i tētahi atu me te rongoā mahi. Ko ngā rārangi e tautuhi ana i neke atu i tētahi mahi e tohu ana i raro iho, ā, ko ngā taipitopito e noho ana i raro i ia. I te wāhi e tiritiri ana tētahi rārangi, ko te tātai e pā ana ki te waehere, ehara i te mahi kotahi i roto i te rārangi.
Ka whakakoretia ngā papatono iti i te pūtake, ā, kāore e tāpiritia e tātau te mokowā.

Ko ia papatono ka taea e tātau te whakaputa, te tino kino tuatahi
I whakawāteatia e te wāhanga kāore i te mutunga i te moni whiwhinga. Kāore e whakaritea e te utu - kei konei te tīwae utu kia kitea ai e koe te moni whiwhinga o ērā i kitea he mahi, ā, kāore e whakatauria te raupapa.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Ko te waehere tiritiri — e taupoki ana i te nuinga o te mahi kotahi CIP 12.04 is cosmetology together with barbering, nail technology, esthetics and related grooming programmes. They lead to different state licences and somewhat different pay, and the Department publishes no split.

The sub-degree end of this code is one of the most heavily marketed training products in the country, and its four-year outcome is among the worst on this page — but it is also the code where the Department suppresses the most, so the certificate row does not clear our coverage floor and is not published here at all. |

The bachelor's degree no longer reaches the registered dietitian credential on its own — since 2024 the Commission on Dietetic Registration has required a master's — so this row covers a qualification that is now a step rather than a destination, which is part of why its four-year outcome is worse than the graduate rows in health. |

Rehabilitation and therapy, master's degree
Ko te waehere tiritiri — e taupoki ana i te nuinga o te mahi kotahi CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling. Physical therapy alone cannot be extracted from any of them, so none of these is the physical therapy figure. |

Optometry, first professional degree
CIP 51.17 at first-professional level is the Doctor of Optometry. It is a small and well-defined code: sixteen institution groups report, and they cover 86% of the Department's national count. |

Communication disorders (speech and hearing), master's degree
Ko te waehere tiritiri — e taupoki ana i te nuinga o te mahi kotahi CIP 51.02 covers speech-language pathology and audiology together. At master's level it is overwhelmingly speech-language pathology, because audiology moved to a clinical doctorate; at bachelor's level it is a pre-professional degree that qualifies you for neither on its own, which is worth knowing before enrolling. |

Medicine (doctoral programmes), doctoral degree
Ko te waehere tiritiri — e taupoki ana i te nuinga o te mahi kotahi CIP 51.12 at doctoral level is a mixture of programmes the Department classes as doctoral rather than first professional. The ordinary MD and DO route is the first-professional row, and the same residency caveat applies to both. |

Medicine (MD/DO), first professional degree
CIP 51.12 at first-professional level is the MD and DO. Read the earnings figure with the calendar in mind and it stops being surprising: four years after finishing medical school almost everyone in this cohort is a resident, and a resident's salary is not a doctor's salary. This row measures the bottom of the curve, not the plateau, and the Department publishes nothing further out. |

Allied health diagnostic and treatment, master's degree
Ko te waehere tiritiri — e taupoki ana i te nuinga o te mahi kotahi CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were. |

He pēhea te whakaako i ngā tīwae moni e rua
Ko te tīwae utu he tātai ora, a, ko taua wāhi. Ko te tauwaenga mō ngā tāngata i roto i te rōpū kotahi e mahi ana — kāore i roto i te tauwaenga ētahi atu tīwae. Ka hangaia ia tauwaenga i ia pae utu i taua āhuatanga; kāore e whakaaturia e tētahi o rātou i te tīwae e tata ana ki a ia. Ko te whakaakoranga o ngā tau e rua tahi ko te tikanga anake o te tau utu: he tauwaenga tiketike e tata ana ki te mokatere kore mahi tiketike, he papatono e pai ai te mahi a te tangata, ā, kāore he wāhanga whai tikanga i te mahi.
Ko te tīwae utu he papa, ehara i te utu. Ko te utu ā-iwi ā-iwi o te āhua o te whakamutu i te mutunga - ko te mea i tangohia e te tangata mai i te kāwanatanga. Ka whakawātea i ngā whakawhiwhinga, ngā moni whakawhiwhinga, ngā moni whanaunga, ngā whakawhiwhinga tūmataiti, me ngā utu ora, kia nui ake ai te utu pono o ia papatono i reira i te tau e whakaaturia ana, e te nuinga kāore e whakaputaina e tētahi. He tauwaenga hoki i waenganui i ngā rōpū e pūrongo ana i tētahi, kāore e ōrite ana ki te tauwaenga i waenganui i ngā ākonga.

Mō te rongoā, ko te waenganui o te nohoanga, ko te take e whakaatu ana ngā rārangi rongoā i ngā moni whiwhinga i raro iho i te mea ka mahi ai ēnei kaitiaki - he pono te whika, he mea whakamātautau noa iho i te pito o te ānau. Kāore te Tari e whakaputa i tētahi atu mea, nō reira kāore anō tātau.
Kāore tēnei e kī ana he kino te papatono. Ka hiahiatia pea tētahi āheitanga ā-ture, te ara anake rānei ki te mahi e manakohia ana e koe, ā, ka whakaatu tonutia tētahi hua kino e whā tau. Ko te mea e mahi ana te tīwae ko te whakakore i te tau o te utu e ako ana hei whakaritenga.
