I wonder what the lifetime earnings of a new software developer/engineer would be, compared to other careers, especially for those that turn out to be non-rock stars in the medium to long term, which would be most. I suspect that the great earnings initially would plateau and be overtaken by careers where time in the game and cumulative experience are primary drivers of experience.
