It's a honest living (Score 1)

I didn't get into this field because I wanted money. I got into it because I loved working on computers and I thought it would be a great way to make a living. Many people in the late 90's would tell me how much they hated computers and were only in it for the money. I hope that attitude doesn't come back. Last thing I want is to work with an overpaid incompetent tech that doesn't know what an inode is or a tech that thinks the Windows command line went away with W2k. I believe that the salaries stabilized over the last 7-10 years and the wages for people in the Computers field is fair for the employees and employers. I remember the salaries back in the late 90's it was easy to make anywhere between 100,000 to 200,000 a year and some employers would even throw in a BWM as your own company car. I believe the people who love their craft and stayed around after the bubble will gain all the financial benefits from sticking around and will still have the pleasure of working on computers. On the other hand Admins today are asked to do more with less and sacrifice more time for their employers. If the Admins are making more money today it's because they have earned it.
