I won't work for less than $45. I prefer $50-55 or more.

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 "A Real Tech Writer at Last" -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
