Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jeff Schubert has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and CompTIA Security+ certification. He’s also got Cisco CCNA, which is a solid foundation for a network admin role. Location is Middletown, MD, which is a smaller market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for network administrators in Maryland is around $85,000. Considering Jeff’s level of education and certifications, a lower rate of $75 per hour seems reasonable. This is also in line with national averages for entry-level network administrators with similar qualifications.
