        No wonder so many California big city types have been showing up
here in CO!! With a CCNP/CCDP it's possible to earn a W2 hourly wage
within the range you're talking about below (definitely towards the
lower end of that range, but within that range nonetheless)...

                I live in LA and the hourly rate for a CCIE for a long
term contract is
                anywhere from 45 - 100 per hour. 100 per hour requires
lots of experiance.
