And the real reason, more staff capable of moving fat patients. As the general population gets larger, so must the carrying capacity of the average nurse.
..and when this is brought up in firefighting (Male dominated field #862), there are cries of foul for requiring the same upper-body strength standards for all applicants.
The hand-me-down issue isn't so great since a lot of games are now making the majority of gear (past a certain level, and any gained through questing or dungeon grouping) bind on pickup. Meaning that as soon as you pick up, craft it, or recieve it as a reward, it's yours. A variation is binding on equip, it still lets you sell it, but once you use it, you have to sell it to a vendor (although WoW does shoot itself in the foot with this by letting you semi-liquidate your OWN bound equipment).
Still, that doesn't stop a huge guild in WoW for example from selling slots on a relatively easy raid like Molten Core or Onyxia and you pay for any of your gear that drops (this is more of an issue with mudflation then anything else, since a guild that's geared well past MC has a supremely easy time with it). This takes a whole guild that is extremely well equipped and organized (and more importantly, willing), but you still end up buying [Uber Mace of Shiny and Ass-Whoopery] with gold.
As long as something is "easy" and doesn't require a full group preforming like a finely tuned machine to even attempt, you will always have the problem of buying an escort through an encounter. I don't see an easy way to solve it since well... even mountain climbers have sherpas.
Well I messed around with PHP a little bit when I was middle school, took C++/Java in HS, and have been going back to PHP along with Python in time since leaving HS (but before heading to college), so I did a tiny bit.
On the subject of classes though, my first year of HS was all basic stuff, then two years of C++ and then the class split my senior year. You could either take Web Design with one teacher, or AP CS with another, I of course dove at AP CS. Still, I was at a Computer Science magnet so I doubt that's the experience a lot of high schoolers get.

Fairness is indeed fun.
