Okay, let’s break this down. Mark has a mix of horticulture and trucking skills, which doesn’t directly translate to a high-paying job. His experience as a horticulturist and truck driver is more common in the construction or agricultural industries. Given his location in Silver Springs, Nevada, and his skills, I would estimate his hourly rate to be on the lower side of the industry average. Considering the average hourly rate for horticulturists and truck drivers in the US is around $25-$40, I would estimate Mark’s rate to be around $45 per hour.
