On average how much does a "PC Technician" make?

[Nocturnal]

Is $10.00 an hour reasonable or safe to say a PC Technician makes?

I'm gonna apply for this job in which I'm supposed to go to place and put together computer systems. I've got a bunch of experience putting computers together, trouble shooting, etc.

I'm excited and I hope it's a way to get my foot into the door of IT.

Thanks.

$10.00 an hour is reasonable Nocturnal, especially for an entry level position. BTW, do you have any certs under your belt yet?

Thanks, putting my resume together and sending it on out. They also help you get security clearance. I hope I can land this job.

Zim, none, but currently working on A+. They recommend A+ but it is not required. I just hope I can get my foot in the door with at least a $10.00 an hour salary. That would be good enough for me. I just want room for raises and to grow into a better position.

The engy that I'll be hiring tomorrow draws $150 an hour for his company. He makes 85.

Even though they say the A+ cert is "toilet paper," go for it and use it as a foundation for your future certs IMO Nocturnal

Good Luck w/ the application :beer:

$10 per hour sounds low, but I guess normal for entry level like people said.

I have yet to actually talk to the people. I'm just guessing and asking what is the norm. I'll be happy at $10.00 but ecstatic at $15.00 an hour.

that is over 17 an hr.

I know a few techs who make that, but they are level 2 support.

They make at least $10/hr, good luck!

That's not bad when you consider you can train a Monkey to build a Computer. We use to get get $15 to $20 per system we assembled back when I worked as a tech and then the Company outsourced it to another shop who did it for $10 a shot. I didn't care though as it was one boring job.

For an entry level position with no degree and no certifications $9-10 seems about right.
