Re: MAKEMONEY cmd

In the Connecticut area, as well as many other areas, many companies will
snatch-up junior programmers who know and understand how to use RPG.  They can
take those individuals and grow them.

How much experience do you need, depends on the position you are looking for?
For an operator, knowing the basic commands, and how to navigate around the
machine is all you need.  For a beginning RPG programmer, knowing the syntax, 
the
opcodes, how to read someone elses code, and some good logical thinking, and you
have a programmer who can make $32,000 to $35,000.  Not too bad coming out of
school.  Now, put in 1 years work (a good solid year of programming, and 
learning
new things), and you have an individual who can earn about $45,000.

    This is not bad for 1 year out of school.  Now, different areas of the
country will have different salary structures.  So, you will need to adjust 
these
salary amounts accordingly, but that is the MAKEMONEY command for a 22-23 year
old coming out of college.
