Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Matta has a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and extensive experience in IT, which is a good starting point. Network administration and cybersecurity skills are in demand, but the rate might be lower than that of a seasoned cybersecurity expert. Considering his location in Melbourne, Florida, which is not a major hub for IT or cybersecurity, I'll estimate a lower rate. Average salaries for IT professionals in the US range from $60,000 to $120,000 per year. For a network administrator with some experience, a rate of $75–$100 per hour is common. However, since Mike doesn’t have any certifications like CompTIA or CISSP, and his location is not ideal, I'll estimate around $125 per hour, which is on the lower end of the scale.
