IT consulting. Anything from security, linux/unix engineering, virtualization, you name it I probably do it short of development. Right now the hot shit for me is standing up OpenShift environments 'cause everybody wants to get in on this whole containerization craze.

You'd be surprised at how much money even temp agencies make off of you. If you're seeing $25/hr as a temp, they're probably getting close to $40/hr for you, maybe even more. It's rare that they're only getting a few dollars off the top unless it's a really low paying gig but they have a lot of temps working for that company. Back in the late 90's I was working as a temp making $9.50/hr, and I know Olsten Staffing was prolly only getting $12.50-$13/hr max off of me but that's because they had something like 60-70 temps there. They could afford to take that hit due to the sheer number of temps they placed there and it was an exclusive contract so every time someone quit, Olsten provided the replacement.

I'm in my third year of law school, I graduate in May and will prob do securities law after graduation and passing the bar. 1st year associates typically bill around that amount(depending on the size of the firm and yearly billable requirements). Unfortunately the firm gets a good percentage of it...

You can bumb that hourly rate up to $400 plus on your own and keep it all
Most I made hourly is as independent contractor doing design work for around $70 hourly. But I often have to split 20-40 percent of that with someone else on my team.
I do what I gotta do, but I really hate the idea of selling time. I much rather sell a license, service, contract, artwork or just product in general. It's quicker. Oh and, not that it's a way to get rich quick but ain't no money like art money!

I'll hang a shingle eventually, but I want to get my feet wet before I start my own practice. My goal is to start one about 3 years after I pass the bar...
