Why Do We Only Care About Programmers?

Ahh survivors guilt. Dont worry, it'll pass.

On a little more serious note I believe it has a lot to do with supply and demand. Good programmers just think differently. Whether that way of thinking is something you can teach is something incredibly hard to argue. I think it can be, but I dont really know how and dont think the worlds education systems are even close to figuring it out. Its sort of a sum of life's learning's and experiences. You either pick it up and do well or you dont.

Well that's what I believe anyway. You might not agree but that and the 5 years of education and the 5 years of debt which followed is what I think separates me and the people selling what I create.

Please dont get me wrong I dont think I'm better than anyone else, I just think that my higher than average wage is due to a lack of supply and wanted to lay it all out.
