This is a touchy situation for me. I also serve as a sysadmin on a part time basis, and somehow got myself stuck with a very inadequate salary. Basically, my best suggestion to you, is to evaluate what your time and skills are worth and ask for a salary that adequately compensates you. For some, $10/hour would be fine. Others may feel that they want as much as $40/hour or more. Good luck figuring it out, Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net ---- From: Marco Molteni <molter@logic.it> To: chat@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wednesday, July 09, 1997 9:46 AM Subject: what is a fair wage for a system administrator? >Howdy all! > >My ISP, which is running 2 NT boxes (Unix knowledge == 0), asked me to >install and run a FreeBSD box, to be used as a "multi-host web server" >(is it english? ;-) >I'll be the system administrator, not the author of the web pages. > >I think I have an adeguate knowledge regarding Unix and tcp/ip >networking to do such a job, altought I have been connected to the >internet only via ppp (I mean I have never run a box connected 24h a day). > >My questions are: >1. since I've already a part-time work and I'm studying, I don't want to >assign many hours for this new work.
