It really depends on what you need to be making and what hours you want to work etc...
Certifications are great for the 9-13 an hour range and working like help desk jobs. anything above that is going to have to be schooling and knowing someone who will give you a crack at a job. Network administrators work long hours and are in high demand but it takes alot of hands on expereince and school like PDR does to get those jobs. Many cities and government jobs higher network admins in the low 40-50,000 range to start on up to 70,000 for like police departments. I just missed getting city It job in a small town of 30,000 for 23.00 an hour becasue my expereince was not recent. Corporate big companies usually pay about 60-75,000 for a Network Admin but expect to get asked to be ther after hours allot.
I do allot of solo work like detailing on the side in the 20-30 hr range to get buy when it's wet,cold and raining out.
Hope that helps
