  Times change, Dana. Deal with it. Since you don't want to accept that an asnwer, charge what you are worth. I know a contract engineer in a medium market who charges $75 and easily has 40+ hourse of work per week. His clients know that he is worth it. Let the cheap stations hire the cheap rates and suffer for it.
   
  The final answer is is that only you can determine and decide your fate. Don't blame an industry for not planning your career for you.
