I was looking at the median average for training houses and colleges. And yes, the going college rate is somewhere between 20-25/hr, even if you're going in as Adjunct (which to me is the same). They do get it, though, as there are always someone out there that will take it or nothing at all.

So THAT'S how we get to $75/hr...lol

Again, probably 6-8 weeks, pally.

I think I have a State Fair ribbon in a box here, someplace..

Well, You're not somewhere where the cost of living is ridiculously exorbitant, say, Southern California? IT in general is underpaid, in my estimation - particularly for those that bothered to get their Network+ before doing Security+ (lol)

There are so many people that just want the "quick and easy pathway" to Security+ and higher and find learning basic networking, computer skills, or the like to just be a hinderance. But, so many people just want to go cyber/be cyber and so on, to the point where they leap over basic skills...

Are you saying $55-$60/hr is a low pay rate? Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but the average US pay for a contract CompTIA instructor is somewhere in the $30-45/hr range, so that rate would actually be pretty good. Unless I'm missing something - which is entirely possible.

Not likely, mate. The final deadline, I think, just passed. Usually takes about 6-8 weeks to process the attendee list from On24 and do up the order. I'd probably keep an eye open in June/July. /r

You win by default, pally.

Hello CIN'ers (and particularly those who are SpiceHeads) - Not sure if you heard the news, but it would seem that SpiceWorks' pledge to be forever free has gone the way of the dodo. Those of us who have been using the SpiceWorks cloud helpdesk for years, asking for Entra ID and better methods...

Locked in. Hopefully I can break away for that time...Anthology is going to be the death of me, I'm certain... /r

There was an old book that I got when I was at UPhoenix called "Tools for Teams" which talked about the idea of Learning Teams. The general idea is that they would be student study groups, but would be mentored by an instructor. I think whenever they were promoted and 'believed in', they...

I liked the Cyber Skyline challenges that were at conference. The only downer was when they did the CTF last year, they reused the challenges from two years ago, or when I said, "oh, this looks familiar..." a few times. /r

Congrats on the win!

Yeah, those come up too. One of those proverbial "choose the best answer", which can sometimes depend on the situation... etc etc
