Being a tech professional is a good career with plenty of high-paying jobs.
But it's an ever-changing job market. One day a skill is hot and the next it's not.
Job site Dice.com recently published its 2015 Salary Survey, which named the highest-paying tech skills.
Dice, a tech-job-hunting site, surveyed 23,470 IT professionals in the fall of 2014 to come up with this list.
Of course, skills alone won't always lead to a high salary. Work experience counts, too.

No. 30: RDBMS is worth $114,100
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) is the full-jargon term for the thing otherwise known as a database.
This is the traditional kind of database that uses the structured query language (SQL) used by databases like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2.
While noSQL databases are growing extremely popular for new applications, most companies still use this kind of database to their most-important business apps.
There are currently over 1,300 job listings on Dice for RDBMS-related jobs.
No. 29: JDBC is worth $114,234
JDBC is a Java-based technology from Oracle. It helps a database connect to an app written in the Java programming language.
Java is a super popular language for writing apps, so lots of skills associated with it pay well and this is one of those skills.
Pay for JDBC-associated jobs has climbed 11% over last year, Dice says. It has over 880 job listings for it.
No 28: Sqoop is worth $114,328
Sqoop is one of those skills that has zoomed into popularity thanks to the big data craze.
It's a free and open source tool that lets you transfer data from popular big-data storage system, Hadoop, into classic relational databases like the ones made by Oracle, IBM and Microsoft.

Yeah. Very true: the need changes quickly.
Half of these will be out of vogue in 2 years.
The reason they pay so much is they are looking for someone with 3 years experience in a specific discipline that’s 2 years old....
Hen’s teeth...

This article did not mention the one thing that will kill your chances in high tech regardless of your skill set....if you are over the age of 45 you may well be a goner in terms of ever working in high tech again
It’s interesting that a number of years ago, Java was considered a “throwaway language”.
Sun Micro virtually gave it away.
A hunnert n' ten thou ...
PLUS a salary ?
Not true. They really don’t care if you are a contractor how old you are.
Then you get to train your H1-B replacement who will work for 25% of that.
Very true.
Plumbers,HVAC techs,boilermakers,machinist etc. can make 6 figures a year if they are skilled enough and work hard. But the College elites will always look down on them, even while their former College graduates are waiting tables.
ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
You just have to be able to keep up...and that requires a kind of energy that is not common for those over 45.
But I'm 59 and doing very well in tech.
IT is still very lucrative. The key is as with anything which is to get in the door and gain experience. Anything related to rdbms/big data will always be a winner. The need to acquire, process, and make data actionable is only going to grow. Some of the list above will be gone in the next few years but learning to code and learning databases and technology is never a loser especially if you know how to generalize your experience and apply it to new areas in order to learn new things.
But Milton Friedman said "There is no free lunch."
So we all found out that our browsers were chock full of holes that worms and viruses and hackers could get through. So we ended up spending hundreds of dollars on anti-virus software and firewalls.
They gave JAVA away for free.
And now we find out it is chock full of holes and code is being written by kids with less than a year's worth of experience and we have even more bugs and worms and viruses and hackers to worry about.
Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it.

And the first Automobiles were built without brakes.
agreed, I am 60 started at nasa/langley, grew into multi=discipline engineering, have been working for German company for many years, highest tech machinery in the world, we cannot find young folks capable of handling the technoogy, school does not get you ready, just teaches one how to talk the language.
Experience matters greatly..
Even dealing with the relatively small gigabytes worth of data that I have to deal with, I spend a lot of time massaging data sets so that they can all be corralled and used effectively together.
I imagine that large corporations that deal with terabytes or petabytes of data have rooms filled with H-1B drones that write dozens of data converters so that a few math PhD's can work their wonders on the aggregated results.
Even big data doesn't sound like a likely career path for the number of STEM students graduating each year.
Even the first cars cost money.
I am in the Data Center power back-up business and it seems quite lucrative. New installs every week and ongoing service/ support.
Good for folks that don’t let a little 480 bother them.
And I actually Bought a copy of Mosaic after a number of failed attempts to download it.
I don’t think there was any illusion about its perfection like there is today regarding virtually everything you buy.
