Hardware (as in embedded programming) actually pays pretty badly compared to web programming (although I expect Cisco/Juniper are exceptions).

Depends on what field you are in with embedded programming. I know a few people that work on embedded hardware such as microwaves, fridges and whatnot that make 100,000+ a year.
