Okay, let’s tackle this. So Flambé has 64 years of experience, which is extremely rare. His skills in customer service and research are also valuable. However, his experience is not in a high-demand field like tech or finance. His education is also not in a field that commands high rates. Considering his location in Forest Lake, Queensland, Australia, I'll look at average rates for customer service and research professionals in Australia. According to data, customer service professionals in Australia can charge around $25-$40 per hour, while research professionals can charge around $30-$60 per hour. Since Flambé has both skills and experience, I'll estimate his rate to be around $40 per hour, which is at the higher end of the customer service range and slightly above the research range.
