- I need some information on what a software technician might be expected
- to do and get paid. I believe that Portland Community College has, or
- had, a 2-year program certifying software technicians. Are there any
- other such programs in the Northwest?
-
- What I'd like to find out is,
- - What education and training I should look for (could expect)
- in a software technician,
- - What sorts of job duties are typical,
- - How much supervision vs. independent decision making is typical,
- - What a typical pay structure is for such a person,
- - What such a person's career aspirations - or recommended career path -
- might be.
-
- Is there anyone out there - perhaps a graduate of the PCC program, or
- someone who has hired or taught SW technicians, that has this
- information or could give me a pointer to someone who has? A phone
- number to the PCC program, if it still exists, would also be
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
