So, getting less than that with skills doesn't seem right?
That's at $30CAD/hr. If I get called to a home to do (typically) janitorial work on a microsoft pc, the going rate is $100CAD/hr, because Staples (a large stationer here) decided to charge their guys out at that.
OTOH, one of my work just gets on the VHF and calls me into the office at my normal wage rate for help, which I don't care, it's fine. Gets me out of the rain for a bit ;-)
