Third - retraining (for caregiver) takes a short period and requires less actual on-the-job experience than over skill oriented jobs currently also in demand.

Fourth - not enough high paying honest local jobs that doesn't work one to death and/or involves long weird hours.

Fifth - dreams of quickly uplifting oneself & family from the current low status/standards of living.

Sixth - local jobs (when available) will only pay enough for your daily living. Not enough gets saved for future needs nor for personal growth. What else if you are supporting a family?
