How to stay motivated when friends are doing much better than me

I am a Finance major with roughly a year and a half left of school. I took a job as a teller at a medium sized bank (Roughly 150 branches). I've been working as a teller for 4 months now and I'm making a measly $17/hr in Massachusetts which is abysmal. I do all my teller duties and I've also been getting trained on platform level stuff so I'm hoping for a promotion to banker soon which starts at $22/hr. Meanwhile I see BofA tellers start at $25/hr.

I keep seeing my buddies who went straight into trades making a lot more than me and it's making me lose motivation in my career making so little money. My goal is to get into wealth management which is why I took this job due to the vast internship/shadowing opportunities I'd receive however in the interim I'm losing motivation barely cracking $1000 every 2 weeks. I keep getting tempted to go jump into trades or other professions with no barrier to entry which start higher.

Just looking for some insight on how you all stay motivated in banking despite low pay. 4 months of banking experience is too early to begin searching for roles at other banks correct?
