Ha!
Building robots pay a lot more, too.
My son-in-law is building drones and his pay started at $200,000 a year soon after he graduated from Stanford with his Ph.D. in the same field.
His job also comes with lots of benefits, more benefits than I ever saw during my thirty years of teaching in public schools. His benefits include time off when his wife, my daughter, gives birth so her husband can stay home for six weeks and still get paid for those six weeks.
