I dont know. My company is paying devs 30-40% more than business people. Both had more or less the same 5 year education, both contribute in one way or another to the busines machine. And yet we have problems to find devs, there is a huge shortage. When I am looking at my friends and group them into devs and non-devs: devs make significantly more money, I am really jealous of that, because I am a business guy myself. In my eyes devs are overpaid: because there are not enough of them in the market they can be picky and choose. The more people study CS, the more supply will close this gap again. In the project that I am working in the business people and devs all contribute a lot of hard work and many hours to the success - why are the devs paid so much more?

Because you clearly are struggling to hire developers at the prices you want to pay and you are not struggling to hire "business people" at the prices you want to pay. In either event you are paying developers shit. When an average junior developer starts getting paid what an average finance banker gets paid post school and in 10 years an average developer rising at the average rate in an org gets paid what an average person in finance who is rising at an average rate in finance org, then maybe there would be something to write about.
