Title: Be honest its not all win win
Post by: lee andrew on January 10, 2013, 07:00:28 pm
I hear a lot of success storys of how much we all earn an hour, but be honest whats the worst priced job you do or have done, like iv said in past i do a pub £20 takes over an hour, and no im not upping it or dropping it, for some reason im happy doing it but could of charged double

i have a few jobs that are under priced ... i bet there is loads on here the same mate . dont worry i look at the bigger picture . the overall earnings over a week .also if you earn too much you get to pay the higher rate of tax on monies earned over the threshold which is a scary thought

I have quite a few cheap very compact 3 bed semi estate work and the lowest I earn is 25-35quid an hour 'on the glass' time.

Nearly everything else is 30-40quid an hour.sometimes 60quid an hour on some large domestic/commercial.

I have no work that doesn't earn me at least 25quid an hour.

£20 an hour is still over 3 times min wage.
Doing a job that needs no qualifications and has low running costs.
Why not be happy.

I once did a one off builders clean fror Andy Johnson's brother. I did it with Dave Woods from this forum. I thought it would take the two of us a morning to do. It ended up taking 3 of us all day Saturday and two of us a good part of monday for £150.00.

Everyone has some jobs they think are way too cheap. We have a few but we look at it as the good jobs more than make up for the bad jobs so overall doesnt really matter.
