I have a bachelors in Information Technology and many certifications how much can I expect to make?

I have a bachelors in Information Technology as well as my A+, Network+, Security+, Project+, CCNA, CCENT, MCSA, MCTS: Windows 7, MTA (Windows OS, Security, and Networking), CIW (javascript specialist, web design specialist, web foundations associate), and a GCFE.

But, I only have 1 year of tier 1 Internet Help Desk experience. I feel like I'm WAY over qualified for my job, but also that I don't have enough experience to get a different job. I really want to get into computer forensics. Do you think, even with no computer forensics experience (other than my GCFE) I could land a position as a mid-level computer forensics examiner? If not, what do I need to do to get there and how much could I make doing that? Despite how easy/routine my job is, the pay is pretty good so it makes the decision a bit harder.
