Raphael’s Answer

O*net online may provide some helpful information and it also provides technology skills, education, salary, etc.. to go along with the career path. Use keyword search & look for the "bright outlook" icon or explore via the "Rapid Growth" drop down.

The O*NET Program is the nation's primary source of occupational information. Central to the project is the O*NET database, containing hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors on almost 1,000 occupations covering the entire U.S. economy. The database, which is available to the public at no cost, is continually updated from input by a broad range of workers in each occupation. The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) is developed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration

Oliver’s Answer

According to Glassdoor here a computer programmer earns between $56k (USD) and $83k (USD) at the top end. I am sure where people fall in the range is dependent upon company size (larger companies can sometime have more resource to pay higher salaries), location, and experience.

Computer Programmers earn on average slightly less than Software Developers/Engineers who instead earn between $58k (USD) and $112k (USD) at the top end also according to Glassdoor here.

If you would like to find out more between what a computer programmer is vs. a software developer this is a great post: https://www.careervillage.org/questions/1929/whats-the-difference-between-a-computer-programmer-and-a-software-engineer (Greg's answer is a good overview).

Hope this helps!

Megan’s Answer

I'm curious about the 'why' behind this question.
Focusing on salary ranges (vs. your passions / interests) may lead you down an unhelpful path. The highest salaries (in any field) will only be achieved if you are the best-in-class in a given field - and they get competitive, especially in computer programming. If you aren't passionate about or skilled in what you're doing, you're unlikely to achieve that level of success (or salary). You're much more likely to get there if you are focusing on work you love and work that you are good at.

Nir’s Answer

The salary range for a programmer can range massively depending on the company and other expertise. For example machine learning engineers can make 7 figure salaries, while some freelance engineers can make 35k. However most big corporations will pay somewhere between 60-200k I would say.
