Hi Mike,
I usually charge $45\hr. The point is that I've had quite a
few potential customers
choke at even $25\hr. I don't figure $45 it too high for quality work
backed by 25
years of experience. I just need to find the customers who are willing
to pay. I've
gotten some good input from you folks.
Tom
I was only charging $25 and hour about 6 years ago working out of my
garage. So, $45 seems about right if you don't have much over head. If
you get your own shop, take it to $65.
Hell, lawyers charge $220+ an hour, tell me that isn't a rip
off.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When he's gonna save your ass it's cheap at twice the price.

Forget the cheapskates, no matter how good you are or how good a deal you
give them they won't be happy. Charge a fair price and do good work and
things will work out for you. Don't forget that you also need to pay taxes
and buy liability insurance among many other expenses which means that you
really CAN'T work for $25/hr and still feed your family.

With the F**ked-up legal system we have today, you're probably right.

Save my ass...that is good! But when he charges for sending me a fax, |
answering the phone and going for a _iss that is just too much! Lawyers
charge for everything....everything! Hell, I do stuff for free all the
time...I like to help out-Damn, I wish I were a lawyer maybe then I wouldn't
be broke!
