Contractors make a lot of money, but that would be separate to standard engineering salaries
I’ve known a few people that graduated about a decade ago and decided to work in really niche tech like COBOL, Salesforce/SOQL/SOSL, VB6, Sitecore, etc. Hell, one guy I met was a professional “ActionScript” programmer! Many in-store and company kiosks used Flash to program their interfaces, so he’d do basic maintenance, add features, and collect six figures for half a year of work and all the travel around Europe/Asia he wants.
