    But the business isn't getting the entire difference between the 25 and the 75 an hour. They're picking up all the overhead costs. That's where alot of young cats who freelance screw themselves, charging what they were making hourly at their last job. Nothing will send you to the poor house faster. As freelance I bill myself out at about $70 an hour, but what's ending up in my pocket after taxes, expenses, etc is nowhere near that. Different if I was salaried somewhere at the same rate an hour.

    I don't see anything massively egregious about paying someone $12 an hour and billing them at $65 to a client, depending on the industry - esp. if it's trades or construction for ex.
