When I was doing AIX and Solaris system administration in Salem Oregon, they paid me $75 an hour.
A lot of people here are comparing Corvallis to Seattle, but they’re hundreds of miles apart.
Salem is the nearest big city.
TBH, making $75 an hour in Salem was like making $150 an hour in Seattle. You can live REALLY WELL on $75 an hour in Corvallis.
