Hi Mike,
Do you really think that $25K is good enough ?
How much do you think you are going to get when you do it full time ?
Just to give you an idea. There was a report here that said that guys just getting out of the university (no work experience) could easily get $45K (yeah yeah Canadian money but when you live in Canada you usually can do good with that kind of money).
Here it is to the point where the government will try to find a way to convince new students to study in the computing field because there really is a high demand for IT workers.
I suppose it would be about the same in the US so to me a $25K offer is just a joke.
