[Nunez, Eddy]

I've personally have never done any "real" consulting work....
except maybe in college... where I was paid like ~$15/hr...
I was just a student and just learning at the time...
so very different situation.  I've always been able to work
full time w/ benefits.  Consultants' needs are a foreign topic to me.

However, consultant or not, I would never knowningly let a colleague
get "screwed" on pay; like someone else said...the pay is most likely negotiable.

Work is work...money is always green, to someone who needs it enough.
Or wants some experience bad enough.

That's not bad for a full-time job with benefits and job stability, but 
$45/hour (or less) is not "paying pretty well" for consulting work.

Friends don't let friends get screwed. :-)
