Do A+ certified technicians (in general) get paid a salary or are they paid by the hour?

In general, are A+ certified technicians paid a salary or are they paid by the hour?

Location and specific job make a difference, but in my area (Utah), having an A+ certification is usually a basic requirement for most IT support positions other than tier 1 help desk/tech support (and some places require it even for that). It doesn't have any real impact on hourly vs. salary. Most places just won't even talk to you for an interview if you don't have the cert or multiple years of job experience.

A+ is very entry level cert... they are going to be lower end hourly.
