Either do good work and charge for it properly (roughly 75-150/hr) or don't take on the work at all. Your status as a student shouldn't enter into this equation at all.

(Sep 18 05, 17:43Are you serious 75-150. When I was working at a design shop they were only charging $80 an hour, and they had over heads to cover - Non design staff, rent, other expenses etc. etc.
I have no problem charging $20 an hour when I was only making 30k a year out of school as a web designer (think that works out to around $15 an hour). Now if I was making this a full time freelance thing then yeah I would charge more, but I have no other costs I have to take into account. I can get more work charging $20 an hour as opposed to charging double that.
When design companies pay shit wages to jr designers you get used to living on shit money. $20 an hour is a lot to me.
