In comparison we don't physically "do" much, which is true but its really absurd to compare industries against each other. Teaching is largely paid out of tax money and what politicians want to pay them since they usually control state and local budgets. That is a vastly different economic model than some billionaire VC dumping millions of dollars into a bunch of startups hoping he/she gets a hit. Or some Fortune 500 company that makes billions a year. There's a series on YT by a handyman who was literally paid $100/hr to replace a light bulb once. A skilled tradesperson in a town of tech workers that don't DIY anything probably makes bank.
We're paid this much because the market pays this much. Its capitalism.
