Wait, it works cheaper than Post Docs? I am somewhat serious because I am a musician. In Dallas my view is Bench Science is woefully underpaid and over performs at an unsustainable dynamic.
Typical post-docs may be the worst systemic ratio of pay to skills and experience anywhere. Probably related: it's otherwise often a pretty amazing gig. Not universal obviously.

musicians/artists are the archetypal poster children for
intense training with underpaid work.
That a musician is calling out science work as the same,
is notable as the musician would have the experience to know.
Saying the post docs might have it worse than musicians.
