$100 / hr - not even close my friend.

Not even a third of that - keep in mind I also have to pay liabilty insurance, workman’s comp (even though being self employed can’t collect), commercial auto insurance, travel, etc, etc, etc.

No I’ve gone as low as I’m going to go because I refuse to install equity into “customer’s” homes at my expense.

I’m a licensed electrical contractor and I do not have to cover myself with workmans comp. Gotta cover the employees though but not myself. Being a contractor might be the difference. Also in my state you must be a licensed electrical contractor to offer your services as an electrician. All building contractors and also owner builder must use a licensee. Can’t pull a permit without it.
