I've been working in software development since I was in High School; I started at a small agency in my hometown developing CRUD applications in ASP and PHP for local companies. Then I went to college and in my first semester, the research director offered me a position to develop software for their research projects. After I left college, I've been working for an advertising agency 1 year now developing more CRUD applications for local companies. So "real world" experience (in other words besides doing research and my summer internship at a top national laboratory) I've only got 2 1/2 years of experience.

You're selling yourself short. There's no reason you can't be making like $60k. If you're smart and know your stuff then you can pass interviews asking for 4 years experience. I've found that its rediculously easy to find a high paying job in this field. I really should blog about this..
