Okay, let’s calculate this. Randall has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, which is a solid foundation. He’s got experience in network administration and cybersecurity, which are in-demand skills. The Atlanta Metropolitan Area is a major hub for IT professionals. According to national averages, entry-level IT professionals with similar skills can expect to earn around $50–75 per hour. Considering Randall’s experience and location, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be on the lower end of that range, around $75. This is still a reasonable rate for someone with his skills and experience in the Atlanta area.
