Second this comment. I've done about 4 years of contract and part-time,
before a couple of years of full-time employment.  Whilst I'm still a
relatively young 'un I'd say I'm having a decent enough time in IT.

If you're defining "decent money" as £50k and expecting that with a very
small amount of experience then I'd just say you're being unrealistic,
so perhaps some clarification is in order?
