[ale] Re: A+

[Matt Magee]

Personally, $10-15/hr sounds good to me!  I finally made a move from IT back to AT (automotive technology) after an 
unsuccessful attempt to find an AS/400 operator job.  Now that my house-hunting is over, am going to go for the A+ then 
Net+ to try to back up my experience and to make up for the 1year away from IT.  If I can get a position with that, I'll 
gladly leave the 100 deg shop and my average $13/hr!  I quit a job in MD supporting 70+ PC's and the company's 
AS/400 msyelf (well, OK, we had a consultant!) thinking I was underpaid.  I'll try to not make that mistake again.
