job-hunting

Hi. One of my friends has contacted a company that is looking for good, linux network programmers in C, requiring a good background of the linux kernel and low-level network programming. The starting payment would be $70 per hour - I am still at college and honestly i don't know if that's a good salary for such a work as linux network engineer, so i am asking here if $70/h is good enough or not ? Thanks.
