| 1250880 | 2011-12-27 22:52:00 | it says crm conslutants and business analysts gets 60k starters no way and sys admins make same as net engineers no way and helpdesk 41 ??? most helpdesk jobs are around 30k ish What's your point? Remember that this is a survey, not a census; people voluntarily participated in the survey, so the results aren't going to be 100% representative. Also remember that the figures reported are lower, median, and upper quartile figures. The lower quartile rate is NOT a "starting" or graduate salary; it's the lower quartile figure for people who responded in that category. |

| 1250881 | 2011-12-27 23:54:00 | most helpdesk jobs are around 30k ish And how would you know? Done many? Appled for many that go to the pay rate stage? Most ISPs pay about $35-$37K. All depends on what kind of helpdesk and level of skill needed. |

I'd probably give you five minutes if you turned up for an interview, and probably less if you hadn't bought the coffee. Good luck - sounds like you're going to need it unless you pull your head in. |

| 1250883 | 2011-12-28 05:24:00 | Problem is with a lot of people out of uni and have a piece of paper saying they can do this that or the other, they tend to think that employers are going to be lining up to offer them jobs with a good pay rate. News Flash-- in the real world that doesn't happen, unless you are the 1 in a Billion lucky chance /break, right place right time. As its been mentioned by several others, a person has to first get a job, and not to be to greedy- While its all good and well to set your expectations high, be prepared and dont at all be shocked for a big drop when they dont match whats actually happening. First you need to actually get a job - then work up from there. I have people call all the time, saying they have so and so qualifications and do I have any jobs going. Personally I don't give a hoot as to what Quals they have, give me experience any day. |

| 1250886 | 2011-12-28 08:28:00 | I started my degree and started working part time at the end of my first year. It was a helpdesk role for a school, $15 ph. Was a great starting out role. Definitely start low and work your way up. Only way to do it. You simply cannot expect to leave school and expect employers to be lining up for you. A degree gets you an interview, experience and personality gets you a job. Wainuitech is right on the money (as usual :)) |

| 1250887 | 2011-12-28 09:05:00 | yeah i guess its not too bad to start on 40k starting salary as thats what grads are supose to get. I just have a Information systems degree and thats it, but i have skillz and knowledge, even though dont have the experience, starting at 40k isnt that bad i can live with it :) |
