Working in the intersections of Medicine, Law, and Data Science, I see plenty enough old-guard niche protection. However, I think a lot is made of that portion, and not nearly enough of something I see all over the work-space. That's what I'll call the 'not my responsibility' factor. Any given hiring manager is tasked with filling their positions, not figuring our why certain people aren't making it into their positions (much less fixing the industry such that people who do not generally make it into the positions can potentially do so in the future). The tools they're provided by HR work for potential employees who fit a certain mold, and they have no incentive* go to bat for the exceptions (if the hiring process even has them see their applications at all). You would think that the one institution that puts in the effort to accommodate nontraditional workers would reap the benefit of a larger employee pool to draw from. However, there needs to be a critical mass of highly-qualified individuals not getting hired elsewhere but still acquiring the qualifications and applying before it will pay off. This results in an industry that knows it is hamstringing itself, but no one (person or corporation) willing to put in the effort that will not benefit themselves to change things. *and theoretical risks, if the times you do stick your neck out can be seen as favoritism (or just becoming known as 'the guy who makes extra work for the higher-ups'). Haven't had my eye to that literature since I started working extensively with lawyers, but in healthcare the time and motion and error rate studies are pretty conclusive in that regard. The less time you have a clinician working, the better their results per hour become. Two people working 40 hour weeks best one person working 80 (and nations where that is more the norm have better healthcare results).</blockquote>
