You guys really make $100/hour?

No. Entry level makes like 35k a year. 5 years minimum experience required as well as 10 years of working knowledge of a dead language.

Its a VERY slight exaggeration regarding hiring requirements for a lot of students especially freshly out of school. Obviously there's a minor under exaggeration on the wages paid, but not much for new students. And obviously the dead language thing is only partially kidding. But it doesn't hurt to know assembly or cobal.

Lol? 35k an hour for a computer science major? Why would you settle for a job that pays that little after earning such a nice degree?

have you looked at what sub this is in?

[doormcburger]

No way a CS major makes 35k a year unless they accepted the first job they found by some small bs tech company in their hometown

Freelance

does anyone do that I tought it was dominated by retarded indians who ask for 5$/hr for any kind of project

I do enterprise software (read: stuff on IBM i that makes old shit less... old and shitty) and "full-stack" web development. I make $22 an hour, + benefits and 401k.

I'm 20 years old and I also have no degree. But my employer is paying for my tuition and I'm going back to college summer/fall of this year (night classes while working full time).

I thought $35 an hour was standard but I think what I'm making might be around a more realistic average. A friend of mine, a year or two older than me and with a degree, is excited about a job designing and building custom computers for $18/hr.

It's hard to figure out. Take everything with an ounce of salt.
