You have a 1st degree and should therefore be earning in the 20K+ range.

No, it isn't. Linux is at best a derivative of Minix. It's UNIX-like,
perhaps, but it's not Unix.

Don't let that be an inhibitor. Let the prospective employer decide if
you have the right amount of experience. Don't pre-filter - apply for
jobs you're interested in and let them decide if you're qualified.

Because you're the one looking for the job. The quality of some
recruiter's writing skills isn't necessarily representative of the entire
company, but the quality of your writing skills is representative of
you. :-)

Seems there's an echo in here...
(But does it comply with RFC 862?)

Not necessarily - that's about $48,000 here in the US; I made more than
that at my last IT job and I had no direct reports and the project I
worked on had a project manager who wasn't me. I was paid for my
technical skills only.
