I make a little over 40 bucks an hour right now. With my wife making what she does, I think I could go as low as 30 bucks before I'd have to sell my house.

@CountScrofula Sounds a reasonable rate.
Many are lower.

@Nimbus Yeah, it comes out to 80k a year salaried. I've got a good permanent job and a lot of people are struggling. I'm good at what I do, but like with most things, getting the job was 50% talent, 50% luck and connections.

@CountScrofula Plus qualifications and experience.

@Nimbus Funny that, I got my job without either. It only paid around 25/hour when I got it but was a summer student getting my degree late who just had a knack for the work. So was told 'quit school and come work here'.

@CountScrofula Awww, someone is watching over you :)

@Nimbus Haha. Yeah. I was making 11 bucks an hour before I got that job. SUPER lucky.
