Hell, If I could do programming at home in my jammies for $30,000 a year I would jump on it. I worked my butt off for a lot less than that.
Meh - supply and demand. Market economics. Call it what you will. The key phrase you use is, 'If I could'. Philipp is correct. You'd struggle to get a junior programmer for $20K pa and you wouldn't hold onto them on that wage for long. I suppose the logical conclusion would be to outsource to India or another outsourcing location. I think that just about sums up (pun intended) the futility of an openSUSE LTS edition.
