Hi Jimmy,

(This would be a great topic for DSIG! But I reply to general because
 I don't know if you are subscribed or not to that list.)

I would say anywhere between 35k (real low) and 50k (real high). Looking
at the last salary survey that I have[1] the median for a junior level
programming position was $42. The quartiles were $40k and $46k. The lowest
was $34k and the highest $48. I can't give you contractor rates.

Cheers,

Raymond
