What are typical desktop technician salaries? Do some companies pay a lot more for this position than others? What does a top earner make in this field?

What skills should you learn to increase your salary?

I am not sure where they get their numbers on this site. I am making $10,000 more than the average and jobs I am looking at now start at $5,000 or more above the average in my area.

It seems to be a really varied position. Some companies are trying to get by paying as little as they possible can. I've seen some companies seeking people with multiple certifications for $10. Other places have paid ~$50,000. There's just no way to answer the question.

A level II desktop support used to average from the late 40's to late 50's.
Now companies want to pay $4.00 above minimum wage.
It's disgusting.
I have worked in desktop support for 22 years and was recently laid off.
The position was outsourced.
The new contrator offered me my old job at half the salary.
No thank you.
