Quote:That's what I hear. I really enjoy learning so I figure that will make it fun. I hear the money is pretty good too. Do you mind if I ask if you make good money working in software development? I want to do something I enjoy but it would be nice to get paid good for it as well.

 

It depends on what kind of development you do and your job title/responsibilities but like anything else, demand tends to drive compensation.  Salary.com has information about the industry in general, you can browse different kinds of specialities and see some free salary survey data.  If you're taking courses or self-learning, one piece of advice I'd give is to not concentrate on just learning a language or two but spend time studying software architecture and methodologies.  Good luck!
