Neither one is an easy task, but the market pays what the market pays. If you want capable people you have to pay them a competitve salary. If you want people who can half ass the job you pay them rates well below market. The fact that you earned that salary doing research has no bearing on the discussion, they are completely different jobs with completely different markets and pay scales. The only common tie is the word cancer.
