You are joking, right?
In case you aren't, is it possible that the person is working a job for the sake of the experience. Working an $8 /hr job in many cases is just as good as paying to go to school if they are training you on the job. With something like a medical centre, it makes a lot of sense to work that type of job to have it on the resume. If somebody wants to work in the medical field flipping burgers for $12 /hr won't help her very much.
Of course, the other possibility the person likes what she is doing.
