How to earn $900 per day!!!

[OK2]

Every now and then I like to see what jobs are the flavour of the month. I found this one and only wish I understood the required experience let alone the job at hand but for $900 per day I am prepared to spare the time.

Computer programming. Was a 'hot' job a few years ago. Now not so much media attention but bloody good pay if you know what you are doing.

To add insult to the pain the job is part-time hours. Do the calculation on part-time hours divided by $900 and the hourly rate is truely staggering..........

Guess I must be a nerd if I can read a job ad like this and pick out the mistakes the pimp has made proof reading it before posting it.

The skill set required is fairly intense, I only know a couple of people that could do the role well and they'd probably want a bit more than $900/day for what would end up being a rather mundane job. I could probably bull**** my way through half of the job, but I'd probably want a bit more than half the pay

$900 a day. Nearly as much as a good trader makes hourly. :

I had a job once that paid $400/hour.

Now for the honest bit lol, only got like 4-9 hours of work a week and often between jobs had to drive hundreds and hundreds of kilometres and pay for accomodation just for 2 hours work in some locations....so some weeks actually lost money..however I can still brag that once I earned $400 an hour lol

Did that involve dancing, and poles, and oil by any chance?

 

[Spaghetti]

No! Of course not though was in entertainment. lol:

I would call the guy that offered me the contract a ramper, sounds great but when you have to pay your own expenses you find out all those stories of how it will make you rich and famous and he great lifetsyle you will have travelling all totally FALSE ! However as they say, was experience.

For pole dancing would want $2,000 an hour hee hee

I didn't realize Polish oil rig workers would be paid so much.

Within 12 months you could probably have the basic skills to be able to do that job, and would only require a good textbook, and some dedication - however it would take a couple of further years until you had experience being proficient.

Average programmer is about $50/hr.. More specialised is around $100/hr (or up). No different to any specialised contractor.. Only problem once you've finished the job you've got to get by until the next job, so requires regular contracts.

Tonnes of IT contractors earning 900 a day. Not even programing just stuff like load testing and things like databases and microsof portfolio.

SAP contractors were earning $2500 a day 5 years ago .. I knew one that had an M3 AND a porsche 911.

Hi Guyz

In the IT industry this kind of pay is not uncommon even more so if you are a contractor. One of my friends finished his Computer Science degree in Perth approx' 10 years ago his 31 now. He is a systems analyist for the Bureau of Statistics in Melbourne, he is on around $80 an hour but the most amazing thing is that he actually gets overtime pay. I remember him showing me his fee he charged for working a saturday and sunday 5pm - 7am 2 months ago, and he made just under $4,000 for the two days, only thing is he has to pay $40,000 a year for liability insurance, but that is tax deductible so he pays jack all tax. He got offered a full time job for $110,000 a few years ago lucky he said no.

40k tax deductible means its still more than 20k out of his pocket.

The only insurance that could cost that would be PI, and savy contractors negotiate out of that (eg capping liability at low$) as its a complete waste of money in the current insurance market.

So what does Joey Pepperoni drive?

Something in line with your status as a "multi-millionaire" and Balmoral resident. Probably a 4-wheel drive.
