Boy- I read all this about *money this and salary this etc* and I feel pretty much out of the loop. I think I have come to the conclusion that I am the *token* wannabe CCIE (at some point) who does what he does because he LIKES it.. Sure.. money is nice but my salary has bounced up and down a few times and I must say that generally speaking, life is more enjoyable at the lower salary with less stress and expectations. I spend many, many hours working with computers, networks, web pages etc because I'm am a technology junkie, I love what I do to make money and I want the certs for personal satisfaction. I dont brag about test scores(which have been good so far) and I like to design self-help tutorials for free as evidenced by the goodies on my site. This preoccupation with money is a waste of time and effort. Spend your time bettering yourself both technically speaking AND socially speaking and two things will happen. One, you will like yourself better as will those around you AND money will come along in unexpected ways.
Just a humble opinion to be taken with a grain of salt.
