People aren’t locked into being baristas. People immigrate from all over the world to the US, and become whatever they have to. Dry cleaners, landscapers, cooks, maids, nurses, etc.

Do those folks make more than minimum wage?

And becoming a nurse isn’t something you switch to after being underpaid as a barista. It’s a career with real training.

I do not see why a barista cannot do “real” training and switch to working as a nurse.
