Hi Ray, >From what I've seen/heard lately, companies are moving to this new model: Admin Wanted: Certified Sun System Admin, MCSE, CCNE, CNE. Requires 5 years experience in Windows 2000, Solaris 8, HPUX 11.0, Novell 5, Cisco Local Director, TCP/IP, PPOE, DNS, SMB. Will be responsible for 50 server production farm. 40 hours/week plus carry pager 24/7. Pay $35-40K/year DOE. It's called "consolidation." Two things will happen: 1. After an unemployed person with these qualifications, who was making $150K, starts getting hungry, the position will get filled. 2. After these positions go unfilled for a while, the companies will revise their expectations and accept what $35K will buy, or they will come up on their pay. George "Raymond P.
