I wonder how much does cleaning lady make
Jul 13, 2020
After taxes, expenses and supplies. Or is she exempt?
Gosh, it's so much easier to translate my favorite subjects than to clean a house....

No disrespect meant for cleaning ladies...
Jul 13, 2020
...but a qualified translator should always expect to be paid more than a cleaning lady. There are people who actually like to clean, but if you don't, you'd better study well. That's what my mother told me, who had to be a cleaning lady for a while before she could start studying again.

Your hourly rate seems very high to me - on your website you say that you charge EUR 25 per hour for various language combinations, that's about USD 21. You could make it $25 and it's still a very good rate.
Where is €25 a very high rate, Tina? No one I'm aware of doing NL>EN is charging that. The going rate starts at €40-50 even for agencies. Easily €70 for direct clients.
