Security Basics: Non-tech: Value of the field

[Techie <techie () pi2tech com>]

Hello All

I have been looking at jobs on different sites for Security position and 
seems they don't tend to be as well paid as DBA or Sys Admin jobs are. 
Even specialized administration of WebLogic/WebSphere pays better.
What does that indicate? Corporates don't take it as seriously, even 
with the growing threats or corporates choose to invest more on 
automated tools and care less about hiring peronnels?
I have been working in the field for a while and have had an indecent 
growth in the past and now looking forward to get certified to boraden 
opportunities but wondering what's up with the industry as far as this 
critical field is concerned.
Await opinions from this great group.
