The median pay across the whole US for software engineers is quite a bit higher then the median income for all professions. Or are you referring to a different country?

- holtalanm 9y agoI know people working for the railroad as track workers that make more than the median salary for a software engineer in my area. So, take 'professional occupations' with a grain of salt. There are high-paying occupations that don't require a 4-year college degree.

Lawyers have an extra 3 years of very expensive school and only make about 15% more on average than software developers. Accountants make on average about 30% less than software developers.
