There might be millions of people that know how to program but most of them are shite and write shitty code.
I'm a Senior Software Developer for a financial firm here in Toronto earning over $100k. Most of the kids we interview haven't programmed much outside of their assignments from school which means they aren't usually any good.
Going remote is very hard. Usually firms look for a good track record of open-source contributions as that proves you can work remotely.
Even if you do manage to score a gig - a lot of firms want you in the same timezone which limits you to South America for North American firms.
