I have times in my life when I've worked two full time and two part time jobs at the same time. Then again, I've had times when I didn't have a job, or like now, when I'm self employed, but not making enough from that "job" and need to have a regular outside job to make ends meet.
According to one friend, I need to raise my prices (or, rather, my hourly). I've only charged between $100-$150 an hour for years (like about 15 years), while the usual fee for someone with my background is about $300 to $450 an hour.
However, with the economy as sucky as it is right now, it's hard enough for my clients to pay their bills as it is without me raising my rates some gawdawful amount.
Could be worse, could be raining.
