I'm currently a fresher and just got an offer for support reliability engineer( tech support in simpler terms) and it pays 5 times the average in my country with lots of perks. Also it involves no programming. I'm interested in programming, should I settle for a developer profile which pays less or a tech support which pays almost the double?

question

    Well is the programming salary enough for living on?

    How important is money to you?

    The programming salary is just enough to meet the ends.
    I love programming but I need money for my student loans but I'm afraid if I go tech support now, It will be hard to switch to developer profile later.

    @HarleyQuinn Ok so more questions lol

    Do you have a degree in CS or something like that?

    Are you already a good programmer or are you learning?

    Do you already have an offer for a programming job or just tech support?

    @pollux That's an illogical generalization that is very biased.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    @Stuxnet I have a degree in CS and I have a developer job in hand too.

    @neodite the company says that its a high skilled tech support and its the only company that pays so high.

    @HarleyQuinn Well you could always keep programming on the side to develop skills and a resume of personal projects. Then once your loans are paid off, begin the transition.
