And this woman graduated from NYU, Junior year in Paris, she's been published, and she's absolutely charming. She's optimized for distance, not speed. No reason to be a douche.
This is the kind of person you pay $100k starting to though, to keep them around for a while.
I was like this, and I kept changing jobs every 6 months because someone would come along and offer me twice what I was making before. Sure, I'll come work for you! (Oh, and I'm 24.)
My bet is that two years from now, she will easily be making $50 an hour, even if she starts on $12 today. But if you're that person paying her $12 today, I estimate that will last maybe 3 or 4 months. Then someone else will have her talent, and you'll be saying to yourself, "yeah, paying someone like that $12 an hour was fucking dumb of us".
