hmmm... I have two perspectives to contribute to this question. 1) Do not think in terms of dollars per hour. Instead, think in terms of a full time job that pays 200k per year. Then go to places such as glassdoor.com and look up who's getting paid that yearly salary and move forward from there. 2) Take the skills you've accumulated, the 1st & 2nd loves you desire to incorporate, and start your own business. The way I see it, if you're quick, you will have two iterations to get a successful product out the door & profitable - one year per business idea. If it were me, I would attack the latter as you have far more control, and a far bigger upside than your $200k/year goal.
