IT openings right now are very few and far between without high qualifications. My department is currently in a hiring freeze, as are others I know of. It's a tough time to get your foot in the door and still make a good wage.
Good luck.

What are you considering a good wage? I would be willing to take 14-15/hour in topeka/lawrence or 16/hour in kansas city.

My only advice, is RUN, RUN far away from IT as you can...
I did 2 years ago and have yet to look back, I am happy and enjoying life without the hassle of being completely unappreciated. I might not make as much as I did in IT at the moment, but life couldnt be better... |

Well I guess that depends on your lifestyle and whether you are supporting a family. Personally I wouldn't consider anything under $35,000/yr a livable wage in KC/Topeka/Lawrence in the IT field. $18-19/hr. But again, it's all how you manage your money.

With your qualifications and experience that sounds about right.

I manage it very well. I have been living on less than $25K a year. And supporting my family of 5. My wife is going to attend Washburn Law School so things will be tight until she finishes.
