We live in a messed up world. Research regardless of whether it’s successful or not should be making researchers some of the most highly paid citizens of our society. Documenting how things don’t work should be as valued as documenting how things do work.
Labtechs shouldn’t be making the equivalent of Mc Donalds workers (even though Mc Donalds workers should also be paid more).

You sound like a sure thing for bioinformatics.
I mean, the pay isn’t great but it’s generally six figures even without a PhD

Same. That money would have been better spent at a casino.
