okay, fine. Charge 20$ hr. I don't really care. But, remember: people will pay you what they deem you're worth.
And, if you look this up via the AIGA you'll see that I'm not off in my numbers at all. They're in CDN dollars by the way.
To me 20 an hour is way too low. It shows no confidence in your own abilities. Hell, you can make that managing a Starbucks. I'd like to think my skills are worth a lot more than "we need more grande cups".
This is skilled labour and you're not going to bill for every hour of every day so make sure when you do it's worth it to continue in the career.
How do you raise a family on 20/hr? Think about things down the road. Car, mortgage, kids, retirement fund, education funds. You can't do those things on 30K a year if you live in a city.
Hell, the house alone will cost you half a million anymore.
To me, it's a shame that there are still so many people in this industry willing to rip themselves off.
And, if your excuse is "but I'm a student". "B-b-b-b-b-but the poncho."
Who gives a shit. If you're going to take the work charge for it properly and do it properly otherwise don't do it at all.
They still don't teach business in design schools do they?
