atw: Re: First Gig Coming Up

$35 sounds very low. Take a look at the latest salary surveys done by the 
Australia Chapter of STC (http://www.stc-aus.org.au/surveys.htm; specifically:

Subject: atw: First Gig Coming Up
 
Hi All,

I'm going for my first paying contract gig.  I was wondering if you could
give me some idea as to rates.  My hunting around tells me that for an ex
high end technical trainer (cisco, microsoft, etc) with 15 years of IT
experience I should be able to get around $35 per hour for my first real
tech writer job.

Could you give me your thoughts on whether you think this is fairly close to
the money?

Cheers
Shane
