I live in Lafayette, IN (45 min from Indy) and I make a little better than 60K as a tech. (I do a little of everything, but basically, I maintain about 250 pc's. We have a seperate network administrator - he makes about 60 as well. Screw those losers, man! Your Novell experience IS worth something - it demonstrates you trainability and dedication. Any company who says otherwise is ripping you off. You should not work for less than 30k period!
