Network Coordinator salary question

[Lori A. Schwabenbauer, Camden County Library]

Thanks to all who gave me salary figures on what a Network Coordinator should
make.  (Original post with job description is below.)  The range was from
$21K-54K, with an average of about $40K.  A couple of people warned against 
requiring a MCSE since it would necessitate paying a higher salary, while not 
necessarily reflecting the applicant's true skill level.  One person said a 
B.S. degree with 3+ years of network experience should suffice.
