and it works the other way, too: I've read an article in a magazin (I think it was a German issue of Scientific American) about an experiment, which leads to the conclusion that if you get less income, you are less motivated and you don't think it is worth to do as much as you can for the job. So if you get $80 instead of $5 you are 16 times more productive for the company for which you are working :-) Ok, perhaps not that much more productive, but you get the idea.

Tell that to the people who employ students. I'm not really motivated working for $10/h. If someone would employ me for $25, I'd really try to do most excellent work (because I would think I'm treated fairly).

Why is it that once you graduate (even though you don't know anything more than before and still have the same experience level) you are able to charge 5 times what you earned before??
(well, it seems like in Germany you don't even get IT jobs at all anymore, but the people who do earn way more than $10/h)
