we aren't talking averages and other posters have inadvertently backed me up by saying people start at 48 in some of these areas..Therefore, my saying that some of these are under 50k jobs is in fact correct

This is your quote. What did you mean by “normal”? Did you just mean “some starting salaries”??

The article is not talking about entry level positions.... its talking about open positions.

Hell in Louisiana most job openings are not for entry level because IT departments are not big enough to support an apprenticeship program.

Well, considering I was referring to the average starting salary... and it's still above 50.

We wouldn't hire a Network/Systems Admin with no experience. In every company that I've worked for those aren't entry level jobs. Most people start in some associate level position or in desktop support or help desk.

South LA IT will be: Power, Health, Energy (oil)... things that are highly regulated and require their own, larg IT departments. Lots of positions open in these areas all going to be in the 100k range.

Most small and mid size companies would never do that.

Sys Admins and NEs typically start on HD and get promoted to SAs after 3 years on the HD and training at large companies.

Most mid level to small companies only hire 5 years exp or more.

It's difficult to find someone when looking to support specialized systems. Sometimes, you just need someone who's smart and a quick learner who can handle managing something like a historian then let them grow into the job.

Most will want CSC, ISDS or an engineering background.

Certification will help if you don't have one of the above but hands on experience trumps all.

General comment-

Network and system admins are being offshored at a very fast pace, and for the positions that require a physical presence, H1B’s are being utilized. This is what I’ve been seeing for the last 4 years in the IT department at healthcare based fortune 5 company.

There's still plenty of time before automated trucks will be universally used. "Very near future" is a bug stretch.

Trump can’t do anything about offshore but he can certainly do something about the H1B problem.
