$0 to both. Don't have either.
I think the point is also the difference between being a FREELANCE person hired PER PROJECT, where you're entirely responsible for your own taxes, health care, and you don't know if the project will be there for you next week - and being a STEADY EMPLOYEE, where it's a guaranteed steady thing, taxes and health care taken care of, etc.
If I was hiring a QUICK PROJECT person, I'd pay more. But for a steady employee $25/hr is WAY high for me, it's the equivalent of hiring three new people at once, whereas this PHP work is something I COULD do myself (I already am, right now, and have been for 4 years), but need some extra help doing it now.
Blah blah blah... it's an incredibly cool job for someone who wants it.
