the best paying cs job is the self employed one..
Well if you say Ruby on Rails enough in an interview you'll get a job paying more than everyone in this thread makes. Web design is easy. No one makes good apps. Machine learning is 100% employable.

Professors at my university (although you would need a PhD) get paid $170k+/year and are given bonuses for research.
At the company I'm more than likely going to be working at after graduate school (they made me an offer before finishing undergrad, but I wanted to go to grad school), there are quite a few positions open for people who studied computer science. There are actually a lot of titles relevant to people who have studied CS, including a more elusive 'senior computer scientist' title. One of those positions is your average software engineering position, which pays at a sliding scale of 70k/yr (if you're not so good at it) to 100k+ starting if you can prove you're worth it.
This specific company contracts to its sponsors, and you get yearly raises and title changes depending on your performance. For example, if you show that you're able to work in a multidisciplinary environment well, you can be raised to the status of a 'systems engineer." Pay for them is 100k on the lower end, ~190k/yr on the higher end. After a few years in a position like this, they slap a 'senior' in front of your name and bump you by about $20k/yr; it's very possible to make $200k+/yr at this company if you know what you're doing.

And they only pay me 70k/yr. I took the job because I had a lot of student debt despite scholarships and felt I needed to start paying asap and didn't have time to look for a good job. That was probably untrue. Anyway, within 4 months my soul had been sucked out my anus.
