wondering what you all think we are worth.

I work for a local government and as a result i get paid just enough to survive till next pay day, the upside is that it's full time, sick days and 4 weeks annual leave and good super annuation. oh and a 9 day fortnight. Pros and cons all in all i spose it's ok. p/h.. approx. $19 climbing.

on my days off i get some private work. all legit i have insurance and all work is on the books. i charge $55 an hour for me and $33 p/h for a 2nd person, of which i pay them $25 per hour. usually i quote per job and often make more then my hourly minimum.

i want to be competitive WITHOUT bringing the value of our market down...........do you think i am around the right fiqures?

please be truthful, the more we try to underbid each other the more we bring the value of ourself down.

thanks!
