SUPERVISING TRAINING TECHNICIAN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
Computer Technology
New Jersey treats Supervising Training Technician Computer Technology as a competitive-class job, so the gate is an examination and the ranked list it produces rather than a direct offer.
The spec names a master's degree, but it leaves the door open to substitute experience for the degree. The FY2027 range lands between $87,507 and $128,719.
