Does this sound right? Someone is getting paid more than me.

I’m 24F and I’m a shift lead at a retail pharmacy and I currently make $17/hr. This is minimum for my position and I have been working here for two years. (Minimum pay just went up so that was considered my “raise”) I’m bilingual as well as licensed to work in the pharmacy as a tech too. Someone new has been hired as only a tech in the pharmacy, however they’re a lot older me and have worked in the medical field before+they have degrees as I do not. They are neither bilingual nor in a “manager” position- (shift leads are technically managers in my place of work.) yet they get paid a dollar more than me- for the exact same thing I do+ I do more. Is this reasonable to be upset about or is this normal since he actually has a degree? I’m not sure how to feel.
