- fsh 3y agoThey really don't. Maybe half as much, if they are lucky.
- Rinzler89 3y agoNot in Austria. SW devs don't earn too much here so trade people are on par. You earn as much as a tram driver.
- moooo99 3y agothat not true and that article is also painting a rosier picture of apprenticeships than reality can deliver, at least here in Germany. First regarding the salary claim. It is a clear it depends, but overall this is rarely the case. According to some listicle articles I found one of the highest paying jobs that has vocational training is a boat mechanic which pays a median before tax salary of 4.100 EUR. The median salary for a software developer is 5.600 EUR before taxes. One of the top payed but less niche trades, a mason, has a median before tax salary of 3.450 EUR.
