"Camera Girl"

I'm applying for a job retouching photographs for a portrait photographer and they are asking for a "desired wage". While I'm skilled in Photoshop, I've never worked as a retoucher and am not sure what a good average wage would be. I don't want to low ball myself, but right now my "desired wage" is ANY!

Thanks in advance!
 
Maybe you should ask somewhere else. As a photographer a good starting rate would be $10 per hour for someone with no experience. A graphic designer might say $25 per hour. If you get an entry level job at $10 or $12 they will advance your salary depending on your ability or you find a new job willing to compensate you for your ability now that you have experience. That is, unless you don't have the skill.
