When the data disagrees with your mental model, consider re-evaluating your mental model.
The amount a client pays per hour for labor != the takehome pay of the person whose time you're ostensibly being charged for.

- throwawayjava 9y agoThat's not how labor-intensive businesses work. Again, The amount a client pays per hour for labor != the takehome pay of the person whose time you're ostensibly being charged for. Revenue is not profit, and "price per hour for labor" != "hourly rate I pay my laborers". This is even true in owner-operator businesses. Furthermore, in bursty markets, "annual income amortized over career" != "my hourly rate multiplied by 40-60 multiplied by the number of weeks I want to work". The numbers from my links are INCOME, not "what the business charged the client".
