That said, I know you have the creativity and drive to find a niche for yourself, or to create one at least. Best of luck with the search and if the salary to hourly thing is still confusing, the best computation out there is to:<BR/>1. Take your annual salary before taxes and divide it by 52<BR/>2. Divide that figure by 5<BR/>3. Divide that next number by 7 and that should give you your hourly rate.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a math whiz, but I think that's correct.
