it's a free market though. a CLAS contractor is likely to earn about £700 per day. They can get up to £1000.

Permie salaries for CLAS around the £70K mark, depending on who you work for.

but this is the nature of the "free cloud". the services that are free at the point of use come without SLAs

but a scary world ... "most crimes come from africa, therefore all africans are criminals" similar problem with home broadband email routing. oh brave new world
