also, i don't think software is viewed as a "high-prestige" profession. It really depends on where in the world you are.

  i don't know about other countries, but being a software developer is not high-status anywhere in the united states. i lived many years in sf and mountain view. even there, being a "product manager" is higher status than "software developer" or "engineer".

    Higher status, but often paid less.

      Sometimes, not often.

    It is considered quite high prestige in Israel (as does working in high-tech/engineering in general).
