I think he is being naïve because he hasn’t
even finished school and already dreaming of the big bucks. With the market
they way it is, they’re people out there who are killing themselves to
land a job. In the IT market, unless you have a lot of experience or you are
just god you aren’t going to land that kind of salary. 60-90k a year is a
lot of money. If he comes out the gate and lands something for 30- 35k a year,
that’s plenty of money for a kid coming out of school with no experience.
It goes back to the paper cert. it’s
meaning less unless you have some experience. To sum it up, my point is this.
Everyone in this industry has to pay their dues. At some point in their career
they are going to have be whored out. Then comes the true test. Do you do this for the money or because
you like what you do? The best admins I have ever met, did it because they loved what they did. I’m not
saying that he shouldn’t have high expectations or goals to achieve, but
from what I’ve seen of what he knows, he has a long way to go. -----Original Message----- Earlier someone mentioned a story
about a kid saying that 60-90K was too low for OCPs, and he thought the kid was
naive. Although I do agree that many kids go in with much higher $$ thoughts
these days, instead of the love of protocols (JK), I don't think that 60-90K is
all that high either. It all depends on your market, experience, and abilities.
Market is a huge factor. I was offered a job that paid 3 times what I make
here, simply due to market differences. Keep in mind that I make about
$4.25/hour here on the Tex-Mex border though...jk
