Who earns more than a programmer?
In many articles I saw the statement "you should not go into programming for the sake of money, you can earn more." In general, I agree that programming without fun, just for the sake of money, will not lead to anything good. But I was wondering where else can a person with a technical higher education go to earn no less than a programmer? And what if there is no education?
The question is asked for the sake of curiosity and information gathering for safety options.

1. Normal employers never look at education. This may be a nice bonus to a specialist, but not a determining factor.
2. More than a programmer can earn an experienced programmer, who has others in submission. Or a good designer.
3. If you are not limited to IT-themes, then in general, all sorts of managers get much more programmers, but there is no clear recipe how to get there.

Bottom line: if you really need money, open your own business, where your salary will depend only on you.
Education is not. I work as a business analyst. Getting more programmers.
programming and IT is one of the most open and highly paid areas. Well, you can go into gas and oil. But in general, programming is the best option, and if you know how to manage people, then you can safely multiply the salary by x, where x is the number of people you can manage.

not me, another probably wise and definitely rich person said that philosophy is possible when you have money in your pocket (not literally).
As for higher tech. education (not IT), the only thing I know is that my father works at IKEA, they pay engineers there, well, it’s very good, it’s impossible to get there through blasphemy. Responsibilities include maintaining fire safety systems, operating escalators, elevators, etc.
Vaughn Putin is an engineer, they say he works as a politician. As for higher education, in my opinion it has one minus - a diploma. There were guys studying at the same university, only for the sake of a diploma. Only a couple of people were going to work in their specialty. Recently I saw one of the students, he does not work in his specialty and earns quite well. So wherever you go, you can earn. You just need to work.
In a typical firm, a programmer has some kind of upper bar to which he can grow while remaining a programmer. In Moscow, this is usually 150-200 tr. Then he needs to become a manager. It doesn't matter which one - tech lead, project manager or someone else. The most logical thing, of course, is the tech lead. This person does not code, he organizes his wards, demands deadlines from them and distributes lyuli for their breakdown. He can also solve complex technical issues on the project. As a rule, he also needs to attend business meetings and communicate directly with the customer / clients.
In small firms and startups, the lines between these positions are more transparent. For example, a technical director can be both the main and (almost) the only programmer. And get more than those big managers.
