>> On an employee basis, or as a consultant?
>> You didn't say your location which also might come into play.
>> In the U.S. salaried programmers and accessibility consultants range from
>> $50,000 to $100,000 annually. Some maybe more, though higher seems less
>> likely to me for JAWS scripting. And a newby in the field or fresh from
>> college may get less, with the economy and all. Also in the U.S. it seems
>> (I've not scientifically studied this) as far as government jobs that
>> federal positions pay more than state positions, in both cases the
>> position
>> often has a predetermined wage scale, often mentioned in the job posting.
>>
>> On a consulting basis where you are independent or essentially your own
>> company, I've seen rates ranging from $50 to $150 per hour. Some
>> professional shops possibly more, but I am assuming you're referring to
>> an
>> individual.
>> You may also want to take other items into consideration of a gig when
>> working independently, such as it is a short-term one time job? Or is the
>> offer for a more permanent situation where you get an on-going project
>> such
>> as over several months or years. A consultant may trade some dollars per
>> hour for mmore guarantee in length of contract, amount of work coming his
>> way, etc.
>>
>> A consultant may also decide to charge by the project a flat fee. I think
>> for scripters this isn't preferred as it is hard to gauge the exact time
>> a
>> project wil be needed. However, clients often are more comfortable with a
>> fixed fee. If you decide to go this route, I'd recommend carefully
>> scoping
>> the project, get a good feel for the client's requirements, then estimate
>> the amount of time you think you'll need. Then add some buffer, such as
>> 20%.
>> Multiply that by your hourly fee to arrive at the price. Scoping is not
>> an
>> exact science, and sometimes is closer to an art. So you may estimate far
>> to
>> high, or far to low the first few times. Depending on how badly you need
>> the
>> job, even if underestimating causes you to earn less than hoped, can also
>> be
>> a factor, as earning $5 can be better than earning $0 sometimes. Other
>> times
>> taking the $5 job may cost the consultant an opportunity for a $10 job,
>> and
>> it may be better to turn down one job for another. In other words, it all
>> depends on the situation and there is not one exact correct answer.
>>
>> Hope this gives you some line of thought if nothing else...
