That's the plan. I think High School grads could realistically get $40,000 starting as Entry-Level Web Designers or Developers, then work up to $100,000+

If tons of high school grads are taking already-scarce entry level developer jobs, it is unlikely that many people will be making $100,000 for it

Think you're reading it wrong. The $100,000 jobs are very different from the $40,000 (or whatever) entry level jobs. Entry level could mean something entirely different with high school vs college graduate developer jobs. In NYC the $100,000 jobs don't seem to be entry level, and there seem to be more mid/senior developer job openings than mid/senior developers looking for new jobs. It's been this way here for at least one year.

That's way better than starting out at -40K, and struggling to find a job with your degree.
