I highly doubt that solving the problem with just money will get the right people.
A high salary becomes the goal in an of itself, and everything else falls to the wayside.
Do you really care about safety? Applicants may say they do, but only want to retire after 10 years and will lie through their teeth.
Money is a corrupting factor. I don’t like to take this side of the argument, since I want people to be paid fairly, but there’s something fundamental to seeing unpaid volunteers having the best intentions and most love for their craft
Corrupting or motivating? Thin line I’d say.
The other side of the coin is you won’t get the candidates you want if they can get the same money for less taxing jobs. Game theory 101.
