I wonder what the age of the developers is. When I was 15-17 I could do simple development jobs and would have rather taken $100/week doing stuff I enjoyed (and learned from) than minimum wage packing fast food.
Yeah, I'm 20 now but learned a ton doing crappy freelance work (not saying the stuff you need done is crappy max :P). I probably made less than minimum wage frequently, but I remember the first time I could charge $500 for a website (when I was like 15 or so - it was a huge amount for me at the time). It took about a week of work, but for a 15 year old $500 (or even $200) for a week of work is quite a lot of money.
