Actually, I think doctors and nurses are underpaid. They invest a significant amount of time and money in their education and training before they can practice. For example, I have a friend who works as a nurse and only earns around 12,000 RMB a month. While this is still considered a high-paying job, it doesn't seem to reflect the effort and dedication required to become a nurse.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

Actually, I think doctors and nurses are not, um, getting enough paid because they have to invest a lot of money and time to get training before they can become, like, a formal employee. For example, I have a friend who worked as a nurse and she only got, like, 12,000 RMB a month, which I think even though, uh, it’s still a high paying job, but compared to her Hm night effort to become a lossse, it’s not enough.
