Hi all

Like many that have taken on the challenge of breaking into the IT world for a career, I would like to ask for some general opinions and help.

I have taken the first steps: Level 2 NVQ for IT Install & Support. I currently have 2 more months to go, then I will embark on Level 3.

Note: NVQ = National Vocational Qualification)

My main question is: What is the average wage for someone with these qualifications?

I understand that this is a difficult question to answer, but hear me out. Is there a website that can give 'average' wages for people with certain qualifications? There must be some statistics somewhere?!

By the end of Level 3 I will have:

2.5-3 yrs of work experience of working as a computer technician.
A+
N+
MCP (various MCSE & MCSA Modules)
Level 2 NVQ
Level 3 NVQ

Other rumours i would like answered are:

How much more appealing does having a full MSCE/MCSA qualification make me?

What other Qualifications are desireable?

Personal experiences, general opinions and wise words very mcuh appreciated!

Thanks

Hong
