I don't earn that. I have once managed to get into the high 70's averaged when we completed project early. Somehow managed to keep the whole lot stable for 1 month until the signoff and got a nice bonus for our troubles.
Which i think was mainly due to the fact that i refused to let them install the exchange server crap until after the signoff. I had 900 users using a sparc4 for the email server and it didn't even break sweat 100% up time. They were installing the air conditioning system for the exchange server when we left.
Don't be expecting 35 a hour for the first job or 2. Start with a rollout or 2 which can be good fun but hard work then slip sidways into doing more of the server stuff.
It will get you into the spirt of contracting because you won't be working with locals, then when you get stuck on your own you will know how to behave. Its very different to being a perm.
And one bit of advice about behavour.
DON'T SHAG THE LOCALS
Jobserv and jobsite are where i get most of my work from when i started.
Good luck
