It would help if you told us what country you live/work in. If it's USA/Canada or most countries in the EU, then as others have said, you could go be a janitor for more money. If you're living in China, Russia or a 'developing' country, then that's probably pretty good.

I'm 20 in US, east coast. obviously there are random jobs like janitor, garbage man, etc. that I could probably land and make maybe $5k-$10k more at. Point is this is a foot in the door towards software development. Compared to my peers whom are waiting tables and working retail, this is a pretty good gig.
