> If you take a job that pays the exempt salary, you can damn well guarantee you will be working overtime. Positions like that have shit like 6 day requirements or 50 hour requirements.
Not in my experience. Lots of white collar office or government type jobs do not require more than 40 hours per week. Hell, if you count the time people spend on Reddit, they are probably 30 hour per week jobs.
Either way the lack of people jumping up and down to become nurses or nursing assistants is all the proof that whatever the pay is or was is not enough comparable to that of other options in the market.

It really depends. Usually there are busy times and slack times. In tech, if you're only doing 30, that just means you're a slacker.

I would question how many of the jobs your mention here are the minimum exempt salary versus just being above the minimum salary.
"In my experience" people receiving salary are usually management or administration. Retail managers, HR, administrators, assistant administrators, etc.
These would be the majority of the workers covered by this, a lot closer to blue collar with a white clip.
