Greg, I'm afraid I didn't communicate clearly.I did not mean to suggest Bill Gates or Jerry Fiddler are perfectly happy with the compensation required to attract and keep people -- I suspect the opposite is true.
I intended to convey that both are doing what is required in the labor pool available to them. To bash them when no real choices are available seems unfair.

As to the necessity for public policy initiatives to support the education of a larger supply of programmers, I suspect the salaries being paid will affect the choices of young people to the extent that supply will equal demand long before public policy initiatives could have a measurable impact. I don't object to public policy initiatives -- I simply have more faith in the market place than in public policy.
