Absolutely - my first job out of college I was making more than my mom and dad combined, and I still live a lifestyle more akin to what I was raised with out of choice, even though I have far more money accessible to me. I was writing C programs for free for people when I was 14 back in the late 90s, because I just loved programming, I didn't even have a concept of making a career out of it. I feel extremely overpaid, but I'm not exactly going to complain.
