I'd like to know where I can get paid more than AU$10/hour (US$4.90 to US$5 per hour) for my mod_perl programming...
You guys in America get $100US per hour?! My god, I'm in the wrong country... Work is scarce in Australia and poorly paid in most cases compared to America. If I could get US$20 per hour for programming work I would be overjoyed with that! I'm not experienced in mod_perl commercially so I doubt I would get more than that, but I think US$20 per hour is reasonable for quality labor nontheless. I need to work from home. Anybody got any suggestions? I have looked on Yahoo for work from home jobs and they seem to be crooks. I never get any responses.
