Yeah, I have heard the same.

Not only doing the dirty job but having to endure patients abuse too

I may need to change professions.

I was thinking the same thing. I have done some dirty jobs in the past but not for that kind of moolah.

I lived in an apt complex that housed mostly "travelers", as they called themselves. (Not to be confused with the Irish-American nomad group that moves around the US, scamming people.)

They really do get paid a fortune, especially in California. Most of them were from Southern and Midwestern states, and would never have made that kind of money with full-time hospital jobs at home.
