Software, assuming one doesn't go into management, seem to have a more linear comp structure. You start much higher, but it doesn't ramp as dramatically as most trade/licensed professions as you go up. Probably because there's less regulation/capture so even entry-level people keep more of what they produce, vs the almost-feudal nature of many trades/professions.
Just what I've seen, anyway.
Good luck with this strategy after decades of declining and still to decline fertility rates.
