1. <nitpick>Diane said $20-$25/hr, not $20.</nitpick>
2. She didn't say it was contract. That would change
things.
3. Many people feed their families on a lot less.
Oh well, I'm not the one out of work. If I were, I would
be evaluating the offer, not laughing at it.
=============================
It depends where you live. I've lived in some areas where $40K would buy a nice home and feed a family with money left over. However, if you are talking Silicon Valley or Seattle (and Diane was, IIRC) $40K is less than a pittance. You can't live on it, let alone support a family.
