Thats what I found as well, which is why we need more of them. Maybe it is a german thing, but I can tell you that we don't have a lot of those types doing software development. Maybe because people here are more likely to study humanities instead than in the US? I really don't know.

I heard that good lawyers can earn more than good coders. And dunno about Germany, but in my country brain drain is also a problem. And I'm not sure if there really are that many smart people to begin with ;)
