Linux+ annual/hourly average wage

[felixtudoran]

I would like to know what would be the annual/hourly wage for a Linux+ certified individual without having any experience as being employed but with 6 years Linux home experience.
Probably I will land in Portland, OR.

Thank you !

felixtudoran,

I don't know what the job market is like in your area, but not having any industry experience probably won't get you a high wage.

Helpdesk positions in the Northeast pay $12-20 per hour, although I the high end requres some experience.

Most HR people that I've spoken with don't consider home experience as valuable as work experience, but your mileage may vary.
