Money isn't everything though. I've passed up many higher-paying cookie-cutter jobs for lower-paying but more-fulfilling and interesting problem-solving jobs.

Of course, web development can be interesting and problem-solving for some, depending on the job and the person. I just mean to say that money isn't the only criteria that some use to evaluate jobs.

True, but the top comment on this thread was about high end engineers being paid high salaries. Compilers is a good counterexample.
