#2 The_Silversword Aug 28, 2011 0:57:09	Would depend on how business was I suppose. If it was me Id be paying them less than me. I guess to be fair they should at least be paid what you would.

If I paid them more, I would go broke (can't pay money you don't make). This is actually an odd question. Perhaps you want someone to manage your business. This is quite different than finding someone to do your job (owning a business).

Is it supposed to be "if you owned the business you work for how much would you pay the person that does the job you do currently?" Basically "do you think you're worth what you're paid?" 'cus I think I'm worth what I'm paid, but if I had to replace myself I'd hire a less qualified person and pay them less.

I posted late at night, after a few drinks and half asleep. The question seemed much clearer to me when I posted it.  So yes, it has to do with your current job. How much would you pay someone else to do your current job?
