You can get a high-paying with CSS and HTML as useful skills but not on their own... If you are on the business or content or design side of things, having a great understanding of HTML/CSS can be a great skill set to augment you.
So: Designers/content creators can do great without knowing more than CSS/HTML (and don't even need that a lot of the time), but for software development work, the dividing line between tasks is rarely granular enough to get by without a slightly broader skillset.
While you won't get universal agreement on anything like this, the idea of the T-shaped engineer is one worth considering. Your main thing can be CSS/HTML but you want other complementary skillsets so you can best fit into a team fluidly as needed. Sometimes you'll only need to do markup/design, but it helps if you can dip int JavaScript as needed. And the more flexibly you can contribute, the higher likelihood you get to "high paid".
