Ask HN: Are there any decent-paying jobs in robotics?

Hi all!

(Using a throwaway account here) I am a software engineer, working in a factory. My job is to write software that control the assembly-line tooling robots.

The problem is that, I am horribly underpaid. I make about $15,000, which is low even by our third-world standard. I have had a lot of trouble finding jobs here as well.

My question is: are there any good, well-paid jobs in the robotics market out there, or should I consider transitioning to another field, like web development?
