As an entry level bench technician or support analyst, you’ll probably make less than $30K. Over the years as you excel and become a senior tech, you’re still unlikely to make much more than $40K-$50K.
As you put more years into your career and get more training, experience, and some specialization, you may find a technical niche, management, or network position where you may reach $60-$70K.
After several more years building up your skills and experience, you may get into an even more specialized area of expertise where potentially you could get that $70-$100K salary.
When you look back though, you’ll have spent many years in the workforce to get there.
