It may be a great community, BUT I'm not going to highschool proms anymore either. Best of luck to all! Web design 101 = Know your niche  |
I think you got a very valid point here. For example in Sweden the normal wage for a developer who has finished university studies as either a master of science or a system's architecht (informatics) should have a wage around
25,000-30,000 SEK per month (40 h) - by doing very cheap work these wages deteriorate and in the long run it will hurt the industry to some extent - talented people crave much money for their services, naturally.
Personally my lowest rate per hour is 250 kr (around €27/h) (double $15) - but then again - I have no formal education YET.
