Either the people you refer to are not worth any more than that or they
don't know what they are worth. Most direct positions for experienced
Ada software engineers are paying in the 75 - 80K range and I rarely
see a contract position for under 100K per year (and many well above
that). I have worked for defense contractors for many years and I see
the Ada opportunities getting better and better - and expanding outside
of
the defense area.
If you don't care to believe this, that's fine. It supports me quite
well
and I am very happy to stick with Ada.
