Not necessarily. The "transaction costs" of switching careers are huge. If you want to make comparable money to nursing, you probably need training in something else, which likely requires a period of low or no income, possibly years of schooling or other training, etc.
It's hard to switch careers after 30 -- not always impossible, but certainly hard to revert back to the lifestyle of a 20-something for some time. People may stick it out despite unhappiness.

Doesn't mean compensation is adequate.
