Is there anywhere or any case where a paramedic would make more then a nurse?
Probably not unless as a paramedic you landed some kind of supervisory position.
If you like the type of work paramedics do but are interested in making more money, get your RN license and then work as a flight nurse for a paramedic company. They make decent money, on average about $60-70k per year (or more!) in the US.
Starting pay, no. Not as much as an RN. The training time is different and the education level is different, with RN having more schooling. However do what your heart tells you to do. Think about the money secondly, nursing is the most compassionate job I know.
