A+, Network +, and CCNA. What to expect jobwise?

Hi, I will be moving to Florida with these certs in the near future. When I move I will have a little under 2 years experience with networking (small business/home). I know its a bit of a general/popular question so I will try to narrow it down a little. I am just curious if you could help me with what to expect/seek for jobwise when I move. I am definitely hoping for a raise since my current job is an entry level in a mom and pop shop. Is there a general salary I should expect or at least take under consideration? I know it depends on the job and what I want to do but I guess I'm not to sure with those credentials if I have the value to start being a little picky or just take what I can get still. And also I am very curious on salary. I would think 30,000 and up would be realistic at that point. What do you guys think?? Thanks for your time and help!

    It depends on the part of Florida you live in and what actual experience you have with smb customers. Also your pay differs base upon the job you looking for.

    Yes you should see at least 30k working IT in florida, unless your doing tier I pc help desk work.

    I often hear it's difficult to get an IT job in FL. Best of luck to you!

    I will be moving to Fort Lauderdale. And I have a lot of experience working with small business customers. I have worked on networks for doctor offices, law firms, pawn shops, factories and everything else under the sun. I am just trying to figure out what to expect really. I dont want a help desk job that's all I know. I was hoping around 40,000 and up but I wasnt sure if that was realistic. I dont have any specific job I am looking for.

    Yeah if your supporting networks you should see at least 40k help desk or not. My girlfriend is from there and want to move back there, me personally I don't like it down there.
