Web programmers making more then software programmers?
 |
Hello,
From my own personal experience, $54k sounds about right for me in my own personal experience. Also, please note, that I am a freelancer and I am also 17 years old.
If I was still not attending High School, I would be having an income of about double of that.

I live in africa!
Averagely programmers are paid very very far below figures you guys are quoting. Because of the increase in popularity of web based apps, most programmers are "pressured" into knowing web programming and like mkHiga said you have to broaden your knowledge base to be relevant - GUIs, sql, html css etc. this is in return for far less what you guys in Europe and America get .
I for example had been pretty fortunate. I have been involved in software dev. for about 14 years now. wrote COBOL for 7yrs, was into vb4,5,6 asp and now into vb.net, c#, asp.net and moving into java and jsp in the next few months. I am supposed to be in mega bucks in dollars but alas I live in Africa and dollars are pretty hard to come by.
But I am relatively comfortable. So over here in the dark continent you have to literally grind your teeth in code in different forms (web or otherwise) to be reckoned with!
