Well that was in the late 70s and 80s. I was just starting out and back then many programming jobs (IT) did not pay that much. Well maybe did not pay that much at the company I was at :)

But within a few years I was making more and more as salaries for programming started to skyrocket. But to be honest, even if it didn't, I would have stuck with it.

The people who remained in my old job (manf), they were outsourced as the decade went on :( By the early 90s, all that manufacturing work was gone in my area.
