75-100+K for selling software is pretty sick

you make more money than the people with years of experience that design and build the software

Top CS grads in major metro areas make that range upon graduation.

no, they really don't

Top top top grads at google make about 80, but google really only hires the best people at the best schools, and that is in california most expensive place to live.

Top grads at big companies in other parts of the country pull 45-65

I don't know of anybody that makes 100K as a 23 yr old programmer unless they started their own business

I have friends who pull in 100k+ at 23 in software. 80k starting at Google is w/o a Master's degree. Add another 10+ for the degree and another 10+ for a year or two of experience.

Also, other companies (Amazon, financial companies, etc) pay better.

I'm just surprised you can get a sales position making that kind of money.
