I.... I don't see how you can see that in my post... I'm honestly trying, but I don't follow.. That's pretty much has nothing to do with what I posted. What I was trying to say is that I usually work for $50 an hour. If a company contracted me out to (let's say.. Valve) for $20/hr, I would lower my rate of pay to go work that company (especially when you get every game on steam for it and they have on-call massages available. Yes, I'm being serious). So if $20/hr + perks means I am making more then $50/hr, then I'll take the cut in pay for the extras (and the prestige of working there). I, in no way, think CF is stupid. I just got off a contract for $40/hr. for 6 months. The length of time of the contract helped me decide to go to $40 an hour. CF right now is keeping me working. :) That's a good thing in my mind. > You could always not take that job and look for something $$$ier. I'm ALWAYS looking for more work. Even if I'm working for the $50/hr., if someone comes along and offers me $80/hr., I'll take it (finishing up my initial contract of course). > I personally know some full time students that work at CF jobs that start at > $13 an hour, and some pros that work at salaried gigs that equate to about > $70 an hour. As do I. The 13-20/hr. I hear about are the people I'm usually called on to clean up after. Spaghetti code and such. Usually, I tell clients to nuke it from orbit to be sure and they agree. Once I have their site back up to how it should be (usually taking less time then the other guy), they are happy to pay the last part of the invoice.
