here's another transcript from someone else responding to my ad
what makes you qualified to teach web dev user?
reply to this post or your thread will die in its sleep
>welcome to my blog
That's why you get a outline/contract user
Granted that dude is an idiot but you can't just go 'you broke shit so I had to fix it pay me for my time' when he didn't authorize it, especially when it is more than double of the previously agreed upon fee
my degree and years of experience/study, why do you ask?
uh I think you're confused. I tutored this guy for the rate of $20 an hour which we agreed upon before starting. I didn't get his signature or anything but I have emails from him agreeing on the rate
I've been doing this for years though and it's very rare that someone doesn't pay
Stop working for peanuts. You can make more as a server.

I am gonna raise my rate soon because the demand is high during certain seasons, but $20 an hour is pretty good here. Minimum wage is only $8.10
I live in SoCal and make $20/hr as an intern.
You need to charge more.
I mean if you try to seek out clients who will pay $50, you'll make way more and won't have to deal with as many hobbyists/clueless people/general cheap scum.
A good time investment.
post more funny logs
