Hello again Ellenlee,
I've listed below the results of a few salary surveys that meet -- or
come pretty close to -- the conditions you specified. The surveys are
interactive, and can ask for a lot of details -- what operating
systems you work with, years of experience, etc. Visit the sites
themselves and play around a bit...they are very informative.

An Netwrok Administrator consultant looks like this:
Geography: Midwest

Job Function: Systems/Network Administrator
The average salary for your qualification is $58000/yr, which, for a
40 hour work week, comes out to roughly $28/hour.
Note however, that I did not make use of the option here of entering
special skiils -- system security, mail programs, etc. Visit the
site, and enter in the information that best describes your situation.
