Re: $130/hr for CAD monkeys!

I have 5 trainees working for me. They range in age from 18 to 26 and earn between $40k (18yo) and $85k (26yo). Their course takes 3-4 years and they do a combination of TAFE and on the job training.

Re: $130/hr for CAD monkeys!

Each to their own. I don't do CAD but I think half the population stares at a screen all day - only some people get paid more than others to do it! A real designer will only be spending half his time...

Re: $130/hr for CAD monkeys!
