I'm not surprised. There are a lot of jobs outside of the main metro areas that don't pay that much. They could be, for example, a DB admin for a non-tech company where their priority is not IT because IT is viewed as a cost center. Or perhaps a third party B2B company that is the low cost solution for a larger, more recognized company. You might be surprised what some people make in those cases.

DB Admin is perhabs not the best example as this is one of the highest paid admin specialisation.

Maybe not. I have no idea. I'm not in the field. I'm probably confusing it with another DB role.
