Nurses make a lot more money. Before she retired, my mom was making over 100k working under 40 hours a week, in suburban midwest
Not all nurses, but travel nurses make bank. It was absurd during Covid, when nurses who worked for specific facilities saw their patients dying on the regular, were working longer hours, and still came home with the same pay they received before it all started.
Meanwhile, a coworker coming in from an agency to "help out" got paid tons more, even though they lacked the knowledge that comes from having worked in the same place with the same patients for years. Then those running the facilities were all shocked Pikachu face when their own employees burnt out and they had to bring on even more of the expensive travel nurses.
