Most of the people I once worked with in the service industry had degrees though. Sure, not compsci, but something.
Also most construction workers I've know made way more than that average, often close to 6 figures if not above it. Of course I'm in a big city, may skew things.
Average SWE doesn't need one either.

Maybe that's a geographical thing; I live in Europe, and there are barely any SWE without a master or equivalent here.
