Computer technitians:

CPU Techs. Gt over 70,000 to 100,000 dollars a year for their work. If you are a profecional you get more. Of course this is a very good job but the only problem is that they get very bad aches in your body. This would be a good job for anyone who likes to do things with their hands. Of course hand on activities are unique because many people rather make other people do the things for them.

Just try it out if you are interested.

You may ultimately get that $70-$100K working in Information Technology, but it will take awhile to get there...

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.

I whole heartedly agree with you. I work as an IT professional and have been for the past 15 yrs. I make in the $60- 70 range with the potential to go as $100+k as my experience grows with this company. The more quick way to go up in salary is to move around to different companies. But I am happy where I am for now.
