$30/hr that's problematic, it's the relative value. At that hourly rate an
organization is *not* going let anyone make any significant decisions that
will impact a project, let alone a business. What follows from that is
nothing but significantly diminished role for IAs. If you can make more
mowing the lawn, at least you'd be getting fresh air and more ambitious
people will begin to change professions. :-) (My rule is that to be a
significant player in an organization/project you need to get remunerated at
roughly the same scale as their lawyers.)

As long as both sides are open about their intent and requirements, I don't
see a problem with $30/hr or $15/hr, the market usually sorts these out.
What's troubling is that some businesses think they can hire someone
($30/hr) smart enough to help their company, but incapable of guarding their
own self interest. That just isn't a sustainable business environment for
the long run.
