True, same applies for QA professionals who get paid half of what developers 
get and support gets often just half of that - besides being as skilled, but 
differently skilled as developers. And that just doesn't apply only to 
software companies. Any place where employees are considered nothing more than 
"human capital" folks end up leaving....assuming they have a place to go.
