Consulting Fees

If it is just so easy and just high school then why is it they don't do it
themselves.

Most things are so easy and at a high school level, if you know how to do
them.

I think most things a lawyer does is easy and almost high schoolish, but they
charge an arm and a leg. Why because they know something we do not know.

We are supposed to get paid what it is worth. For me it is not worth $25.00
and hour to do consulting. I'd rather sell cars and make $50,000 plus a year
and let the guy who needs a simple network just keep on needin it!

This stuff is not easy. One must work hard to keep up a skill set.

To you what we do is easy. To the rest of the world what we do is very
difficult.

I thought anything software and networking is just high school stuff. It's
soooo easy...
