I remember working as a full-time salaried employee in
a consulting shop. I remember making about $36k a
year. I remember finding out a client was paying
$125/hour for me. I remember scratching my head and
wondering why I wasn't working on my own and
lowballing the bids with half that amount and still
bringing home twice what I was after taxes. I remember
a lot of things, except remembering to forget to post
nostalgia. *lol*
