Why

correction: GOOD programmers get big money. unfortunately, most talk the talk but are difficult as all get out to deal with when it comes to walking the walk.

I think people greatly undervalue good designers with experience inside of adult... design is like coding in that, there are a million guys that can make a PSD, but how many can make full sites that actually convert, write proper CSS, get the css into templating systems, etc. i worked with non-adult designers that forget to put search boxs and join now buttons.
