So in the UK a plumber or electrician is more valuable on an hourly basis than a 4D developer. My response is “as a 4D developer, thank God I don’t live in the UK”. Yikes, the 4D developer market is depressed there! I like to think a 4D developer is at least as important and requires as much skill and special knowledge to be at least in the hourly range of an attorney. And in America it is unheard of for a lawyer to charge less than $75 an hour. In some parts of America less than $200 an hour for a lawyer is unheard of.
