	Take a closer look at my domain. Now consider - I've seen
	salaries of upto $150K for DBAs in NY, NY. Converting to
	AUD thats about AUD200K. Which is 3 times more than I was
	earning when salaried and about twice what I'm getting now
	as a contractor. However, the rate depends on your skills
	and the supply/demand scenario. If you think you're worth
	it you should either get a better pimp, tell him earn his
	keep for a change or move to a city that pays more.
