Is the field going to become oversaturated with MCSEs and lower income potential?
Some day maybe long in the future. Microsoft made the exams very difficult to weed out the men from the boys. The growth factor of MCSE’s will be there but not at a fast rate. Four years ago we had 15,000 MCSE’s worldwide and this year it has risen to 470,000. This influx of new MCSE’s has brought the income down approximately $5000 a year to $62,500. This is mostly due to the fact that a good portion of the new MCSE’s had no experience when they were hired thus coming in at a lower rate and decreasing the average. The demand for MCSE’s is still very high.
