Re: consulting fees



Two comments:
1) Where you are makes a HUGE difference.  You are never going to be able to
charge as much in Aroostook County, Maine (that's the part that sticks up
into Canada) as you do on Long Island, NY.  You have to tailor your fees to
the local market.

2) If you are paying for the necessary supplies, you set up your consulting
contract wrong.  Any bid should include time and supplies as separate items;
there is no logical way to fold the cost of supplies into your hourly fee.
