UNIX / Linux Professional Salary Potential Ranges

From my mail bag:

I’m seriously considering getting trained myself with a UNIX / Linux education. Can you give me some general idea about salaries for computer professionals with diploma or degree education?

Salaries depends upon many factors such as:
=> Your country / location
=> Your credentials
=> Your level of experience
=> Your education level
=> Employer size
=> Industry
=> Job title etc

The best way to find information is just contact to your local recurring agency. Another old good option is LUG members. If you are located in U.S see Bureau of Labor Statistics website. After a quick search, I found following data (again valid for USA):

a] Tech support staff – US $50-55k p.a.
b] UNIX Sys / Net Admin – US $75-90k p.a.
c] UNIX Systems Manager – US $120k+ p.a.

There is no such data exists for India and salaries vary depending on diffrent factors. Please note that:

More Experience + Additional skillset   ==  More money
