the time he covers his expenses he is basically working for free.

Do you speak for the free world?

I think I have a pretty good grasp of economics.


There are a lot of electricians who will do side jobs for less, who are
retired, who live in rural America,

Perhaps, but the question wasn't about hiring someone who works on the
side. And the $30/hour rate was touted as being in one of the most
expensive places to live.


One of the main reasons that so many startups and businesses go under is
they don't understand overhead. A $30/hour rate doesn't even cover the
cost of having someone on the road.

or who just don't look at money as the
end all be all.

I find that people like to be paid for the goods and services they
provide and it requires money to do that. To that end you usually need
to work and make sufficient money to pay for food and living expenses.

Do you get paid for what you do? Have you considered asking to have it
reduced?
