Salary for A+

[Revjapaca]

How much can someone with A+ certification expect to earn Per Hr / Yr?

[Ghost_Hacker]

Depends on what the job title is. I've seen " computer-repair-man" jobs between $15,000 and $24,000 per year starting. But I've also seen people with A+ working "help desk" or "Desktop support" jobs between $28,000-$30,000 per year starting. What area of the country you live in will also affect your salary. I would do a search possibly on "salary surveys" to get a better idea of salary ranges in your area.

I searched the web once for pay rates and jobs. The highest entry level job I ever found was $36,000.

This is why I do the computer thing on the side hehe, doesnt pay enough to bother.

Work at a local computer repair shop, live with your parents, and get a cisco cert CCIE (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/routing.html) ,then you can start at $120,000 http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

At least thats my take on the whole career issue heh, been a while since I looked. I was very disappointed with the $36k jobs I saw

Hey CrazyChef,

As mentioned previously I think a lot depends on the actual position on offer. I think over here, starting rates could be as low as £10k or as high as £20k. I also think that experience and any other skills you possess will play an important part.

Good luck with your studying http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
