Are you being paid enough?

I had comment in my last post a salary's in the I.T. industry, specifically, software development. It seems like the only way to get paid a descent wage is to either go contracting , start your own company, become a manager or outsource your work to primates. Most companies I.T. staff just don't seem to be valued highly enough. What do other developers think?

now just a matter of what to write....

Hey peoples. I'm a software developer from Adelaide, South Australia. I decided start this because i just wanted a place to share my thoughts, frustrations, things i have learnt that might be of interest to others. Not just in the coding world but also in general life hence the name which you may have realised is ripped off from one of my favorite books/movies The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. So expect code samples, I.T. rants, general rants, some funny observations and maybe some updates on my indoor cricket team when its a slow news day. Oh yea and if your reading this why not leave a comment? Always happy to read peoples comments good or bad..
