Try working your way up from the bottom like everyone does instead of being a pansy ass that feels your that you are somehow special and entitled to $72k/year with no experience to show for it.
Junior software developer salary for those having an experience of less than two years can be in the range of USD 35,000 to USD 45,000 per year.
You want the bucks? Show that you are capable and earn your keep, son.
Fucking idiot.

I do have years of experience. In fact, my $2000/month are considered a very good salary in my country.
But, i was wondering... i know there are very powerful (and annoying) worker syndicates in the US. Is there any for developers?
Maybe the "syndicate" factor has to do a little with those 72000/year salaries.
I make about that amount doing pretty simple programming.
Having a good education improves your salary a lot, at least in places where there's demand for developers.

Please note: I WILL NO DO JAVA. I HATE JAVA, EVEN IF I NEVER HAVE USED IT. I KNOW IT SUCKS
I used to think the same thing. I recently started learning it so I could write Android apps. It's not that bad. It's a lot better than C++ and in some ways better than C.

The lack of a standard preprocessor or macro system makes it worthless, like many other `good' languages.
Get some quantitative math skills and basic knowledge of financial exchanges. Work for said exchanges or hedgefunds (work on the IT side, no need to risk being a trader for just 72K a year).
