    In an earlier posting about pricing your work Gerry said: 

>        You want to make $15 per hour for your labor

    When thinking about what you want to make an hour think about this: 

    My house cleaner gets $20.00/hour. 
    My car mechanic gets $40.00/hour. 
    My hair dresser gets $40.00/hour (and he's reasonably priced around
    here). 
    Verizon charges $75.00 per hour to have a man come in and install a
    jack and wiring in your house and if you have two lines done at the
    same time they charge $150.00 hour. 
    No lawyer that I know charges less than $125.00 per hour. 
    Most plumbers get between $40 and $150 per hour. 
    My masseuse gets $75.00 per hour.  (Can't say that I use her a lot
    but that's my loss!) 
    McDonalds pays their help between $7 and 12.00 per hour. 
    So what, as a jeweler/entrepreneur are you really worth? 

    Just something to think about.
