That may be true but I'd also be interested in a more accurate survey. The problem with these surveys is that they don't take enough variables into account. A certification alone is not enough to make a judgement. We should take into account education, years in the field, etc.
For example, there are probably CCNAs making double what I'm making because they've got over twice the time in the field, one or more degrees, etc. There are also probably a few CCIEs making less than I, but I'm not so sure about that. ;-) They'd have to be unemployed entirely and that doesn't count! heh heh.... So, I think a good survey would ask you which certs you have, how long you've been in the field, your educational background, and then your salary. I think the end result would produce data that would be far more useful for comparison.

This wouldn't be done out of pride or to impress, but what are you going to get out of giving your real salary out. May as well try to push the going rate up, I would have thought. Otherwise, knowing my employer, he'll try and pay well below the average anyway, pay will spiral downwards and before long, you'd be better off working in the cafe next door.
