I don't know where your son lived in CT but it is, in general, a very high cost of living area, particularly in the southwest. Salaries do reflect the cost of living. The cost of living is probably lower here than CT. Also, you, in general, get paid according to the revenue and profits you bring into a company. Experience can certainly help but it isn't a guarantee of a higher salary.
