October 26, 2004: Australia: Nurse makes more cleaning:"ISABEL Guedeney earns more from plumping cushions and sprucing up four-bedroom houses in leafy Melbourne suburbs than she does making sure elderly people are comfortable and content.
Ms Guedeney gets paid only $14.45 an hour to care for nursing home residents with dementia but can charge $22 an hour when she works as a house cleaner wiping benchtops in designer kitchens."

Huh, wonder if I'd make more money fixing broken computers, installing hard drives, modems and cleaning up computer virus infections . . . .
