My friend group is pushing 30. Everyone has at least a master's degree or higher. I am married and own a home and I recognize that I am blessed and unique in that way. Most of my friends are still living in group housing, literally scraping by. We have potlucks and game nights as entertainment rather than going out for drinks or to restaurants. We all have student loan debt up to our eyeballs. Many of us have been stuck in the same $30-40k pay band since we began our careers because we are competing with cheap Indian labor in the tech sector. We've all basically accepted the fact that we will work until we die, and a serious illness will likely bankrupt us.

Your friends must be incompetent if they are working in tech in this area and are only making $30-40k/year. Heck, we outsource some tech work to India because we can't find enough people, and the workers in India cost us $40k/year! I'd much rather have a local worker, and would gladly pay $80-100k, but they're just hard to find and the competition is hot around here.
