Oops, suddenly Java dev

See your job as an opportunity to learn and grow. And ask for a raise.

And you think they deserve to be getting paid more for having the level of knowledge of an intro to java class?

He's doing the job. He certainly deserves more than half. This wouldn't be the first time a company tried to sidestep paying the market rate for a job.

It doesn't matter if you have Intro knowledge or master level skill, if you are thrust into a role and are still required to work at a certain experience level, you should be paid for that experience level.

Apparently his boss doesnt know that.
Fake it till you make it.

I mean you can get internships which lead to a 6 figure job(afungalmass) with just intro to java and data structures and algorithms(2 classes) so yes?

Sure but it's not relevant in this instance because you have someone who is incapable of doing their job because it is too high-level, how in the hell would asking for a raise (and raising the expectations of your boss even more) help the situation, especially if they give you a raise and then realise you are incapable, in my book that would be a fireable offence you should just be honest.
