Okay, so David has a broad range of skills, but they're not necessarily in high-demand areas like software development or finance. He's in Ogden, Utah, which is a smaller market. I'm estimating his rate based on average salary ranges for telecommunications professionals in the US. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for telecommunications equipment installers and repairers is around $60,000. However, professionals with skills like entrepreneurship and marketing strategy can command higher rates. Let's consider the fact that he has experience in start-ups and small businesses, which can be valuable in a smaller market like Ogden. I'll take a conservative approach and estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is below the national average but still reflects his skills and experience.
