Doesn't surprise me much...I live in Western PA. Most Network Admins I know only make around $35,000 a year, and as a PC Tech/Help Desk, I make $26K. Really sucks, but nothing I can do about it unless I move out of here, and that probably won't happen...Tech Support: "Ok, so your monitor is not working, the screen is blank, and no matter what you do it stays blank? Do you see that button on the bottom right hand side just below the screen? Press it. . . . Great, talk to you next time!" -

Yup PA salaries suck, I'm making around $35k in NE PA. Wonder how large the environment is, maybe it's a one man show and they only give the title of IT manager. Technically I am the IT manager for the bank I work at, my "boss" doesn't really manage me, he's the CFO for goodness sake. So I manage myself and all IT within the bank, lol.

Well without a full job description that doesn't mean a lot. Some smaller companies just have 1 IT guy and call him the "IT Manager".
$42K does seem a little low, but I don't know the cost of living for PA. $42K in some smaller markets would be like $70K in others.IT guy since 12/00
