Congrats on finding people to fill your position(s), Cal! At first I read that and thought "man, that's almost insulting". I can honestly say that it's not completely unfair to pay someone $20/hour -- especially if they're still in school. I barely make more than that as a lead-developer for a startup, haha. One of these days it'll get finished and I'll have a nice, large project to put on my CV/Portfolio :)
The sad thing is that you can enter the corporate world and easily hit $80,000+/year -- but I know I could never be happy in that kind of a work environment.
