I'm getting paid a living wage to do something I very much enjoy doing. Would I like to get more? Who wouldn't?

My problem is not with the rate of pay, but with the common assumption that, because I'm a hardware tech, my knowledge is somehow less valuable than that of the programmers and DBAs. Not to mention the public assumption that, as "the computer guy", I'm getting the same 'big bucks' as all those other IT people...
