Perhaps I have an unusual (and unpopular) opinion, but I've always
found systems programming to be pretty well paying.  It probably 
depends on location, etc.  It probably also depends on whether 
the companies are trying to keep the mainframes (and a staff to 
support them) or trying to get rid of them.  

Availability is the biggest issue now.  Unavailable jobs really don't
pay well.
