> A nurse can hit that in 6 years easy through BSN+NP, and that's starting at literally NOTHING.

That NP is the key. Just a BSN will earn you under six figures in most of the USA. We get job mailers because my partner is licensed but non-practicing. And these are advertising nursing positions for $35-40/hr.

According to the BLS, an RN earns an median of $78k a year. $100k/yr is the top 15%.
