.NET Developer
I make like 80k and live with my parents. I love programming, but the projects I get at work all look like abominations. I'm glad I don't have share in the companies I've worked for because I do not believe in their future. Lots of times I've just done contract work too. Its usually "fix this awful program that pajeet wrote for us". Oil & Gas software is the worst. I have rarely seen a good piece of well tested software at any of the jobs I've worked. The one time I ever worked on well written software was for a startup in Austin, and they weren't profitable and had a stupid business plan. But it's ok. I'm sure I could do this well into my 40s if I wanted, but I'm going to try and save my money and retire at about 38.
