Paul, You're well down in the range of rates. I think the last average was about $70/hour. So, unless you're heavily center-grant subsidized, you're not charging enough. Unless, of course, you've done the cost analysis, and can make expenses at those rates. I charge $62/hour . . . no differential for sorting, since I personally think it's a scam to charge more. Think about it . . . sorting is the same as analysis, except that you turn on some plates. Except for a little extra setup time (about 15 minutes), there's no real difference. Besides, charging more for sorting is actually a disincentive for users to sort . . . why would we do that? MAK. Paul Weiss wrote: > I think we undercharge our clients.
