Alas, it's not rich enough for me. :(

Is this par for the course, paywise, in Phoenix?

Doesn't look like I could afford to move back...

the is the entry average for most support that i have seen. most everything that pays more is either icky or taken.

Fortunately, I'm not entry-level, but in checking jobs there, seems to be about right. Guess I'll just keep checking craigslist.org.

Correct.

For someone of my experience (~10 years in the field, Ex-CCNA and someone who's worked on jsut about everything) I'm currently getting around ~15.50 hourly. I could probably get 16 if I really pressed though.

Having just spent half a week in Phoenix, I don't think I could take the (dry, whatever) heat.

Though my mother would be thrilled.

yeah. summer sucks. especially if you have no ac.

If it hadn't been for this nasty upsurge in real estate/housing prices in Central CT, the cost of living had been somewhat comparable to Phoenix, but the wages are certainly different.

For 3-4 years experience, it's not uncommon to get $50K here ... on the other hand, I've been stalked by consulting firms trying to convince me I can easily make $35K working in NYC. Go figure.

$12/hr for all that? Feh. That's half of what I make.
