Funny, I live in the West Coast US. Oregon to be specific.
Indeed, I am not qualified, so 50$/hr is quite out of the question. I
thought 10$/hr seemed reasonable given that I'm not sweeping the floors
or mowing his lawn, I'm managing his disorganized mess of a network.
And that job is like a sweatshop, because my employer, a small business
owner with franchisees, asks me to set up services that are still far
beyond my abilities: e.g a VPN that allows him to log into his workgroup
(I told him he needs domain) and access files on the file server (a
windows computer).
I tired to convince him that an OpenBSD box as the domain controller
with Samba would fix the problems he's been having. (he's trying to get
roaming profiles on a workgroup. AFAIK you need a domain to get the
natively, he's got some kind of hack going right now)
anyways, I've gotten off topic.

why don't you do it?
But boy, will he be shocked to find out how much a professional will
charge him per hour! He only paid me 7.50 USD/hour. Where I live, the
statistics for network administrators show that the average pay is 30
USD/hour.
7.50 an hour? 30 an hour? yuck. 50/hr starting (approx) for qualified
network/systems professionals on the west coast working at a company
with benefits and the like. 7.50/hr? sounds like a sweatshop.
