Okay, let’s tackle this. So Stacy has a solid background in computer science and has worked in IT management for a while. Network administration and cybersecurity are in-demand skills, especially in smaller cities like Texline, TX. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for network administrators in the US is around $60,000 per year. However, considering the cost of living in Texline, TX, which is likely lower than the national average, I would estimate Stacy’s hourly rate to be around $40-$60. Given her expertise and experience, I would round up to $85 per hour.
