    so,

    I'm just about to go into my final year college and i'm about to go into my own self employed buisness.

    what that'll be is; a tech hire.

    Someone that fixes people's computers remotely, locally, etc.

    I wanted to know, should I charge £10 an hour?

    Nope, not hoping to earn a living, just getting more experience, and paying for my years.

    Yeah, £10 an hour is too cheap. If you call out a plumber you expect to pay a £30-£40 call out fee PLUS another £20 an hour for the actual work PLUS whatever the parts cost. Thankfully I don't need a plumber very often!

    I do, I own mkhost.

    But I want to expand. I want to be cheap with a £5 call out fee with £10 per hour on top.
