 Gr> Wow!  I thought I got paid a bunch, but I only get 1/3 - 1/4 of your
 Gr> scale. Is that contract work, or salary?

Its all contract work, but that is the general amount my company is paid for me
to consult other companies.  I don't take home that amount, as a lot of it is
skimmed off the top.  I am on salary with a utilization/earnings bonus.

Basically, my consulting group provides medical benefits, gives me people
to take care of all of the legal work (statements of work, etc), takes my
taxes out, and of course, they provide me with consistent work.  And if they
don't they either have to fire me, or still pay me my salary while *they* find
me work.  In exchange, they take a lot of my billable rate. :)

If I went independent I could get closer to those rates I mentioned, but then
I have to worry about all of those things.  More money more problems.
