Webmaster Career Opportunities

The Webmaster career is new and getting very exciting for the years to come. There are constant changes in the technology used to create web pages, and the Webmasters job is to stay current with this technology. There is a lot of work for the Webmaster, and the Webmaster can decide to work either for a company or hire himself/herself out as an independent contractor. Many skills are required to be a Webmaster, but most skills are transferable not educational. Web pages have been in existence since people started using the Internet, around 1990. The pages are created by using a code called Hypertext markup language or HTML. HTML is a very simple language to understand, but it is very limited in what it can do. The job for the Webmaster will be secure for the future as more and more people sign up for the Internet and the demand for both personal and commercial pages increase.

"Earnings opportunities for Webmasters vary widely, depending upon a variety of circumstances. Like most other aspects of the career, salary schedules for Webmasters haven't been well established. There's really no such thing as a poorly paid Webmaster (Career As 19)." "Organizations that use the Web as an essential part of their business (such as online stores) requires the most experienced, reliable Webmasters, and are likely to pay them to highest salaries (Henderson 86)." "Salaried Webmasters working for business earn salaries ranging from $30,000 per year to $125,000 per year. The range is so wide because of differences in content, technical needs, business acumen and site activity. Another determining factor is how important the business deems it's Web site to be (Career As 19)"
