Some of the amounts paid are absolutely horrible - I just looked through 
and saw assist with swapping Cisco 6506 for 4 1/2 hours for $160. It's 
probably a $100k switch and they want a $35/hour technician. Another one 
to replace TV components taking 2 1/2 hours paying $70.

If you have a pretty open schedule and can click accept really fast it 
would be a reasonable way to make a few $$ though. We do some 
subcontracting through other similar groups for telephone work and you 
generally get paid in 45-60 days.
