I would have a hard time believing that 30K would be too much to ask for a position like that anywhere in the US. Maybe the person was referring to a position in another country or possibly a small town in North Dakota or something. My first job straight out of college as an EE 20 years ago landed me a job at around 23K and that was a fairly low number at the time. And this is in Florida where the COL is pretty low. ~Kevin Davis³ What possibly could go wrong? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Huntley" <benh () steffian com> To: "Security-Basics" <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 12:49 PM Subject: RE: Student-Degree valuable or not? keep in mind that no one can ever take the degree away from you. also, some of the salary numbers being tossed around this thread may apply regionally. for example, one of the first messages made reference to $30K being too much to ask for. if you live/work in the northeast (e.g. Boston, NYC) this number isn't enough for you to survive on, therefore, the pay scale is much higher (as well as the cost of living). as a developer, i can't really speak for those in the security administration field, however, most entry-level jobs for software companies that are hiring [programmers] locally (and yep, some are) start off in the 40-50 range and move up from there. -b --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
