So one of my friends from college recently told me about his pursuit of a career in IT and how lucrative the field is. He described how many IT jobs don't require a degree and after a few months of studying something like SAP, Java, C#, Oracle, SQL, one can easily be making 60k+ a year as a 20 year old. He also described how after ~5 years of experience it's definitely possible to make ~150-200k if you improve your skills.
Is the field really that lucrative that a 27y/o kid, with a few years of experience, can be making well over 6 figures? If that's the case then I'm pretty much recommending IT to anyone that's just looking for a well paying 9-5 gig.
