   Yep.   
   That was the going rate back then. Before I left the corporate world to go   
   out on my own I was making 6 figures. I just didn't see the point of my   
   ideas funding some CEO's Porsche. Initially I did take a loss and made some bad   
   decisions but I recovered and ended up happy retiring early.   
      
   People are different though. I certainly was.   
      
   Maybe hh should apply as a NYC snow shoveler?   
   Up to $28.71 with overtime.   
      
      
   I cannot believe hh is bragging about making $25 per hour.   
   He must live in a homeless shelter.
