Jesus, 50 hours? I knew that they needed a project, but I thought it would be more in the 8-10 ballpark. And for $45/hr? The way they presented it to me was "you set your own rate and you get that, guaranteed", which I'm not sure how it works, since obviously some clients want to pay less.

Yeah, you can set your own rate, but they don't send you clients if you want more than $60 and hour, unless you've seriously proven yourself with them. Even so I think for reasonable rates of $120/hour you're shit out of luck. You'll be very hard pressed to break even with full employment + benefits. Give them a skip.
