I agree.

As a chemistry grad student, we charge $30-$40 per hour to tutor
students out-of-school.  A few people recently started charging $20 per
hour, which is hardly worth our time, and has essentially "ruined the
market" for the rest of us.

A college professor teaching out-of-school would charge a minimum of $50
per hour I'm sure.  I would.  Hell, we make more than that IN school.

Keep in mind that your ability to *teach* should be valued as high as
(if not higher than) your *knowledge*.
