I am a woman in my 40s currently studying for my MCSE in W2K, with the aim of changing careers from Exec. Assistant to Network Engineer or Administrator over the next year. I currently do minor network admin for our LAN and have a background of 10+ years of basic PC troubleshooting and hardware/software installation. I’d like to hear from those of you (especially women Tech Rep. members) who have knowledge or experience in what the IT market is paying women, compared to men with the same credentials. I am in rural upstate NY, and will look for employment in Ithaca (pop. 22,000; home of Cornell Univ. and a growing high-tech industrial park) or Syracuse (pop. 150,000).
Thanks for your input!
