These are averages. Entry level programmers make a lot less than entry level engineers.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

As a person that deals daily with how much IT people make, I can tell you that $62,000 median is pretty much right on. I can also tell you that most at that level do not deserve that much. It's really amazing working with pre dotcom IT workers and those that have only been in the field for the last 10 years or so. Those with 20+ years of current cutting edge experience tend to demand less, be less ADD when it comes to getting bored with your current job, and actually tend to work harder and bring in better quality. I hate to hear: get me someone with 5-7 years of experience. I know that it will mostly be ego driven salaries being asked for and most will move on from that job in 6-12 months just so they can make even more. Many IT jobs are highly overpriced due to the dotcom craze. There was some market correction, but not as much as people tend to believe. I know of one java developer with little OOD, no distributed or web background making $82,000 a year. He got there because he jump around on contract work for three years and inflated his worth by listing his billable rate as his full time rate. Sigh. I could go on for several pages about salary, careers, jobs and happiness. Bottom line is this: if you are happy and can afford your lifestyle don't make a change. Money is one of the worst motivating factors to make a job change; it tends to blind you. I've seen people make lateral career moves just for $5000 more a year - which before taxes is less than $100/week increase from the current salary._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
