I'm in a similar position. I graduated last May, took a full-time job that has ended up being completely different than what was advertised and I'm about to quit. During college I worked part-time for a small company doing ASP.NET and I'm close to starting up for them as a freelancer/consultant while I work on some product ideas I have. My hope is that I can leverage my experience with that company into other consulting gigs in the future. My problem right now is that when I was working for them during college I was getting $20/hour. Before reading Patrick's post I was hoping to get up to $30, now I feel like that's inadequate! Just not sure how to ask them for more.
