I'm a unix sysadmin and I took a "junior" position because I couldn't find much around where I live (Australia) around here when I lost my job due to the financial crisis. I'm on 57k, I could probably get 80-100k if I did a 2 hour commute each way every day, but it's not worth it. I can ride my bicycle 30 mins to work where I am, I'm 5 minutes from the beach and my mortgage is as much as people pay for rent in the bigger city area which have the higher paying jobs. It's all about balance and what makes you happy.
