I dont post very often here, but I got an email about this thread.

I've seen and heard of several coders disappearing because they discounted their prices as deep as this just to get some money coming in.

I hope you get all the 10.00 an hour work you can handle. The sooner you drop out or raise your pricing where it should be the better!

You'll work 19 hours a day until your sick of it. Then you'll take any 30,000.00 a year job just so you can go back to 40-50 hours a week.

I'm reminded of a poem:

We the willing,
led by the unknowing,
have done so much,
for so long,
with so little,
we are now qualified
to do anything
with nothing.

10.00 an hour? Are you nuts?

Good luck......

Hey Beran Good to see you, long time man ....

The thing is though, that he actually won't work 19 hours a day. He started this same thread over at the zoo and someone asked him about sleeping and he answered that he sleeps approximately 5 hours.

Now, realistically, if you say you are working 19 hours a day - 7 days a week - and sleeping the other 5 hours a day, then when are you going to:

1. Use the bathroom
2. Shower
3. Eat
4. Do mailing of the bills and such
5. Post your 19 hour a day/ $10 an hour spam on the boards
6. See the girlfriend/wife/kids etc
7. Have a life

and the myriad other NORMAL things that occur in a day ?

So, what he is saying is that I will tell you I am working 19 hours a day for the $6.00 an hour, but I will actually work a max of 8 or 10 hours a day on your project and that is only if I don't take on other projects in which case I will tell everyone that I am exclusive to them for the 19 hours a day and I will double dip the hell out of everything.
