Is someone who has a phD in physics but only makes 20$/hour underpaid?

They work for a government research lab, and have no hopes for raises/promotions in the next 15-20 years of work. They did 10 years of schooling after high-school (4 years undergrad, 2 years masters, 4 years phD) and they are in a ton of debt. Would you say that this person is underpaid? What other career opportunities do they have? The embarrassing thing is, his brother who is a Mcdonalds manager and only with a high-school diploma, earns more than he does as a physicist.Is someone who has a phD in physics but only makes 20$/hour underpaid?
Yes..way underpaid...but atleast they would get some experience...would suggest trying private research labs...Is someone who has a phD in physics but only makes 20$/hour underpaid?
$20/hr is below the US average for ALL jobs - that is barely or just above starting wage for most college grads with a 4 yr degree



obvious the braniac didn't do much research into what type of jobs and earnings potential such a career choice would provide
