    Hi there

    I recently got an offer from a client who wants me to do ongoing freelance design work on a publication. I am working 4 full days a week for him (9-6) and he offered to pay €10 an hour thats 80 a day, 320 a week etc...Now my query is that even an entry level full time 5 days a week graphic designer will make between 20 - 27K yearly. Seeing as I have to take care of my own taxes, that is an extremely low pay he offered. What do I do and how do I approach it with him?

    thanks!!

    Tell your client to beat it.
