I agree its way to high, at least programmers can hope for a well paying job eventually though. Imagine teachers or something similar. They get a degree to do something that society has a hard time going without (going to work is hard if I have no one to watch my kids) and then get a low salary and are told that they are being greedy and disruptive for going on strike to get raises. We are also told from a young age that going to college is a requirement for getting a good job, perpetuating the cycle. Higher education has a great PR department.
