This isnt software related exactly but my dad was several tiers above the IT managers for years in health care. Forgive me if this doesn't help. My dad works as a Cheif Strategy Officer for a top 20 health care system in the US(I am in college now). He makes more then 200,000. That was his salary several years ago though. He has a stem degree and an MBA. He consulted for many years before this. Health care seems to be really big but from what I gathered doesn't really have a start up culture as much from what I have gathered.

EDIT: He actually has a second graduate degree. Not sure how much he uses it.
