If they're less talented and earning more it could be because they have a better attitude. Maybe they are more confident so they come across as more talented than they are or they are cheerful and don't complain as much or they are genuinely interested in making their manager's life easier or they are more helpful when coworkers come to them for advice and mentoring. Maybe they have taken on extra responsibilities in addition to their job description or they can be counted on to pull an all-nighter to make sure a presentation to upper management goes smoothly.
If you do not feel that you are making as much money as you are worth, then you should start interviewing for other jobs. If you do not have enough experience to look for another job, then you should make yourself as valuable as possible to the company you are working for while gaining experience and then look for a new job in a year or two. Many companies will award a you pay raise when they find out you have another attractive offer.
