Teachers and chefs I could see, but nurses?

My wife earns a six-figure salary as a nurse here in San Diego, CA and she works at one of the the lowest paying hospitals in the area.

The person they're talking about is a CNA. According to the US BLS they average 24k/year. Nowhere near six figures.

Yeah, I just saw that. The headline is misleading. Nursing assistants are not the same thing as nurses.
