I make python web crawlers and extract desired data from yellow pages web sites for $50. My client is very happy. I am from Nepal.

Is that $50 dollars per hour?

$50 is almost what the average person in Nepal earns in a month, so that seems unlikely.

I've been working in Kathmandu since last 10 years. On average full time programmers here earn 10 times more than that. And for freelancers the average income goes above $2k/month. Parent charging $50 is probably a cost for small "task" of few hours.

$50 an hour is low by any other standard, expect perhaps freelancer.com
