>Who knows – Renior may soon receive e-mail advertisements suggesting an “out of Country Company” that can provide programming needs at very good rates. In this case it might be addressed something like: Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. IT Professional. Nadya, having supplied her name, will receive a more personalized e-mail. I have seen rates of $10 an hour being quoted. Am I being skeptical?

I am curious: what would typical rates be for someone working within the US?
An hourly rate of US$ 10 an hour would be considered a handsome salary here in Bolivia! If that is what the programmer receives, rather than an intermediary.
