Can you call out any other market where another profession is as highly paid and accessible?

I can tell that in Portugal it is a highly paid as any office worker, meaning bad, with unpaid overtime, and until you make it into manager you're failing.

Also doctors and business owners not only make it much more, there are plenty of under the table payment possibilities.

I also know of offshoring countries where folks working in tourism make more in tips from foreigners that any IT worker can ever dream off.
