7.3.5 Internet/WWW Consultant
Description
An Internet consultant is a person that provides training and support
to individuals, companies, and schools. They are considered
experts in Internetworking, Web Browsers, Web creations, Installation,
and Maintenance. They have extensive knowledge of HTML, Java, CGI,
VRML and some scripting languages such as PERL. They must also be
familiar with applications run on the Internet. In other words, they
do it all! They are usually hired based on a reputation for getting
the job done efficiently.
Education Requirement
A degree in a technical field such as Engineering, or Computer Science
is usually the education level for a consultant. However, since the
Internet is such a new phenomenon, the majority of employees acquire their
education from hands-on experience, either from working with companies that
use the Internet, or by self-taught methods. Since they are usually hired
based on reputation, they would have to market themselves in order to
establish a working relationship with a company.
Salary
Consultants can be paid $25-$100 per hour
( Thompson, 1996 ). This would be
based on how they market themselves, and whether they work for small or
large firms on a consulting basis.
