I have seen a steady progressive rise in the number of postgresql
related jobs and the quality of those jobs. Major companies are
apparently rolling out critical infrastructure on postgresql...Vonage
is one example:

Salaries for a capable pg dba are really attractive, I have seen
several in the 6 figure range. If you are reading this list and you
like making money, this is amazing news folks. I am seeing a
confluence of many factors leading to serious penetration into the
enterprise market.
Around 5 years ago after being mostly a c/c++ developer I decided
postgresql was where it was at. Learning the database and becoming
productive with it has been professionally rewarding on many levels.
It's really exciting watching the community evolve.
