Sa mga IT masters, ask lang ko advice asa nindot iskwelahan...com tech (hardware/software), programmer, network administrator? Kanang dali ra makakita ug work... thanks

[cold_fusion]

Pick only one.

Programmers has higher salary than the 2 but more difficult.
Then net admin next.

[cold_fusion]

Not sure. Pero daghan nangita ug programmers.

Are you sure net admin has higher salary than an programmer?
Pila man diay average rate for net admins nowadays?
Maybe time to shift jobs and focus.

Maybe you are comparing junior programmer (or OJT) to a senior net admin.
IMHO, net admin's job is not as advance and is mainly configuration and rights management which is much easier than programming.

uhm isnt net admin supervisory level? kanang higher position than a network engineer. cos I'm sure that programmers are given higher salaries than a network engineer, but for network administrator... kalevel mn siguro na sila sa senior programmer/project lead. or maybe I got it the other way around... am not sure tho...

Network engineers = network administrators.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_administrator

Mostly 1 person ra ni sa company. No need to supervise or delegate jobs to anyone.
When a network is already set-up properly. Net admin's job is done.

AFAIK, in small companies, dual role ang programmer and net admin. 1% administration and 99% programming.

What is the average salary?

Senior
network administrator
programmer

Junior
network administrator
programmer

I have heard of some companies having problems with rapid programmer turnover, is the pasture greener outside Cebu or Philippines?

but not all companies have the same set-up. I agree with the dual role but i don't agree with net admin's job being done already after network is already set-up properly. you familiar with disaster recovery? and also expansion of the company, still requires net admin. also data preservation/back-up. net ad job is very critical I believe. they manage the network, lan and wan. and they do delegate jobs to comp technicians. I believe they are the ones who dispatches com tech to do pc troubleshooting...
