Welcome to the new 2004 Salary Survey. This salary survey has been reformatted slightly to get better results. On the following page you will find the results broken down by basic statistics of the respondants (age, gender, location, etc.) as well as by certification and corresponding salaries. Currently, the average salary of a non-certified individual is $37,900.86. The average salary of a certified individual is $54,280. Most of us have what we consider a
primary certification. This is the cert that ranks highest on our resume and
that commands the most respect. Some have more than one high-level
certification, but for the purposes of this survey, we have tallied the salaries
by the primary certification in an effort to give you a good idea of who earned
what.
