2nd level Geek, prestige class Other, £10/hour working part-time from home, far too few hours per year. (Was being paid a rather higher rate than that by the same company at one point, but that was the point where the company went bankrupt; a little money that I actually do receive is better than a lot of theoretical money that I don't.)
I do pretty elementary webmonkeying and minor tech support but have a relatively long history with the company and my limited knowledge of the company's field turns out to be extremely good relative to almost all others. 4 years, 8¾ months. Not very happy, though I like and respect the other people involved in the comapny. Being paid... probably about the right rate (*), but just far less employed than I would like to be.
(*) The sort of webmonkeying that I do is nothing that I couldn't have done at about the age of 14 and so is probably really a minimum wage job these days, but being knowledgeable and informed in the field, moderately able to get along with people and having a reasonably good reputation can justifiably command a premium.
