Why not Pay someone $10 an hour to do CAD?

Seems about right - you get what you pay for.

I used to work for someone who made at least twice as much as I did and drew everything on 0.

I don't know that pay scale has any bearing on due diligence and or how applies their knowledge of a particular skill.
Some folks simply can not be bothered to be conscious or conscientious  of drafting standards.

From a real world experience; I was being well paid as a temp worker doing cad for a project.
Each and every time I asked these cowboys what the standard was for a particular instance;
I was given a very detailed and explicit description of their standard of practice.  This was then followed immediately
with BUT we didn't follow that standard on this job.

After a short while I just stopped asking out of total frustration and just started drawing crap where ever and however it appeared to match whatever was already in the file(s).
They were paying me to draw, NOT to CARE about their crappy adherence to their own standards.

In the end the drawings got printed and shipped, I got paid.

Although I would NEVER want to work in those files ever again. (word!)

The drawings are what represents the product you are selling.

I say, see if you can cut it down to somewhere near $7 an hour and speed up the process (assuming your goal would be to give other companies more business).
