    Okay, I'm sorry but what the hell is Computer/IT analyst doing on the list? And where did they come up with those salary figures? That must be for somebody with a PhD and 10 years experience. Not trying to be negative but it hardly seems realistic.

    You're not working in the right place. Those are real salery figures. One of my brothers' friends work for semantec doing some sort of security stuff. He makes $320,000 a year.

    Yeah, I know I'm seriously underpaid but I do get perks such as studying for my MCP as we speak. :)

    I just wish the article was a little more specific on what certs and degrees make that kind of money in IT.

    Don't worry too much about pay...

    I noticed you live in Texas... compare the price of a single family home in Texas to the price of a single family home in DC/Northern Virginia or even California (SanDiego/SanFrancisco, etc).

    I make the average pay (3 years experience with a B.S.) and I can't afford much in the DC suburbs (Two bedroom Apartment $1750/month)

    There are so many factors more than just salary. Your pay may not look all too bad in Texas....

    You have to read a little bit further... icon_rolleyes.gif
    Install, configure, and support an organization's local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and Internet system or a segment of a network system. Maintain network hardware and software. Monitor network to ensure network availability to all system users and perform necessary maintenance to support network availability. May supervise other network support and client server specialists and plan, coordinate, and implement network security measures.

    Taken from the Computer/IT analyst description. The description does not mean that you have to have ALL of those qualifications. This is a hybrid position within many companies. Hence, you could be a Network Analyst.

    Those online salary estimates are so misleading. It all depends on the company you work for, your experience and education.
