Its also possible to make $400k as programmer. But for both options, you have to be really good at what you do. FE grads do pretty well entry level but their compensatation beyond that depends on their skills. But don't let money motivate you to change careers; the FE curriculum at any school is rigorous and you have to love the subject.</p></blockquote><p></p>
