Neither are hookers and I'm sure they service businesses and the IT community in some respect, and you won't hear them complaining about money (Unless you don't anti up).

1. At the bottom, hardware support
2. OS/networking support.
3. Enterprise software set up and config (SAP configurers etc)
4. Developers (web, applications)
5. BI specialists (credit risk etc)
6. Creatives (creators of new languages, OSs)
Outside this hierarchy we have the various non-clever parasites: BAs, PMs etc.
Value to business, technical expertise, project delivery...
Or is this how you specify reports in SAS?Comment

In terms of difficulty developer is right at the top, mostly because they are expected to deliver something that relies on the input of most of the other disciplines regardless of whether or not that input is provided. They also have to do the most difficult work whilst being looked down upon by everyone else, which is baffling.Comment

In my experience:
IT Support (box swappers)
System Administrators (tape changers)
Testers
DBAs
=Business Analysts
=Developers
Project Managers
System Architects
Program Managers
If you're a team lead then you jump up a level or two.Cats are evil.Comment
