I think it depends on what kind of tech you are.

How do you mean? I pretty much do everything, the only thing i dont work on is down to chip level.

It does depend greatly on the area of the country. Experience and Certification are generally what employers seek. Just need to look over the want ads and see what employers are paying.

Market place will determine your worth. Put your resume on street. You will soon find out what you are worth. There are guidelines for areas of country but there will be a huge difference between low and top end within a given area.

By interviewing with other potential employers you will soon find out if your current employer is getting a bargin with you or if you are being treated fairly.

Entry level uncertified technician, regardless of what you actually do, usually gets you about $10 an hour.
