$25-30/hr starting pay for full time Genius position ain't too shabby.
You need to localize that, I think he was in a high cost of living area and I'd still wager his figures are inflated. I'd be surprised if the $40 an hour figure wasn't inflated as well because that is $85k a year. Genius' don't make that much money.
He's talking about old-dog geniuses at that rate. Sounds underpaid to me. I hope they do make that considering how many people they bail out of trouble.
I know a lot of former Geniuses. They made nowhere near that. A Genius job will barely cover rent and transportation in a decent-sized city. A two-income household is a necessity in that situation. (Or move back in with your parents.) Trading favors for food quickly becomes a habit.
