I don't think he was thinking that, but I'm sure he was thinking "Wow, Phone guys need to be certified on many systems, have knowledge on umpteen different kinds, know the NEC, and also be a computer wiz. IT guys just need to be a computer wiz and they make lots of money, so phone techs should make even more. Sadly ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/frown.gif) that is not the case. The HIGHEST paid employee tech I have seen makes about $30/hour in the Portland, OR area. IMHO he is underpaid. He could easily go work in some computer field at $50 an hour. But he enjoys the variety of work. I guess that is the same for almost all of us. Variety. Sometimes not being mind-numbed is worth $20 an hour cut.

What do you think you are going to get paid; you'll come in with no experience and want 50 dollars an hour?? </font> naa, as I said in my post I can take a big cut in pay right now. Bill makes the point I was thinking you guys have to have a lot of tech skills, certs and knowledge. I also bet there is a lot of new tech to learn all the time too. Money isn't everything if you enjoy the work though, I'm just bummed you can't make more in the field.
