Interesting discussion, but what baffles me beyond repair is how
much more developers are paid compared to QA or support staff. The
difficulty of work is about the same, although for a support job I
think it is even higher (think about it, the supporters have to
defend what the developers goofed up). The skill set is somewhat
different, but thinking about what I get as a veteran QA Analyst and
the hourly rates you are discussing makes me just wanna cry. OK, in
all fairness, I'm not working in City, but upstate. Still, I think
that if you can steadily land jobs that pay 50$ an hour you are
doing quite well.

Not meaning to degrade "Support", but those positions as usually the
first step in IT -- are they not?
As such, it's like minimum wage with higher wages as they move up.
