Frontend vs Backend -- Wonder why most backend devs are men (who make more)

TLDR: Developers (both front and back-end) go through more, but get compensated better than front end designers.

I am a front end web developer and designer who came from a graphic design background. This image is accurate. Front end design is easier, but pays less, and there is not too much job security. They are the first to be laid off as businesses don't value designers and advertising.

Developers, whether front end or back end have better pay. Generally, it is understood that they hold up the infrastructure of the project, and that is valued. They handle mystically technical babble business and management guys don't want to touch.

I switched from just HTML\CSS\Javascript to doing that with PHP and MySQL back in 2009. It's harder, but the pay is way better. Over time, I adapted to new trends and tools, and have accepted that being a developer is more lucrative than being just a designer. I now make low 6 figures, which you can't do on design alone unless you are an art director (which is more management rather than work). Now I am looking to get into Node.js and learning NoSQL solutions.

Or just devs in general

Who would have thought, if you market and pander to everyone but your actual bulk consumers, you won't have many sales!
