 First - as to salary - for a BS in CS, the lower range you mentioned ($15 to
 $20 per hr, if that) seems more realistic.
 Secondly - and more important for your own protection - is to ensure that
 you get ACCURATE specifications for a job PRIOR to programming, and I mean:
 IN WRITING. In my own experience and most of my colleagues, that has proved
 to be the main problem in getting tasks done to everyone's satisfaction.
