JJ,
I was not able to open the link that you put in your message but it sounds like you have experience in network adminstration, correct? For the most part, most companies prefer a college education. However, in the world of IT...if you have skills, the education is not as important as the knowledge in the areas of system administration. Expect anywhere from $30,000 - $60,000 (23859 - 47719 euros). Keep in mind it's tought to estimate based on not knowing your exact skills. |
