> Sure, but nurses are more like 30-40k/yr. Plenty of room for improvement.

“Nurses” can be used to mean many things (CNAs, LVNs/LPNs, RNs) but this is specifically RNs, who, make much more than that, generally (median $77.6k/yr) https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/mobile/registered-nurses....

Given the amount of school a nurse must have, that’s low.

2 years of school to be an RN, 4 for BSN - it's not a lot of school, it's an average amount of school at most.
