[AccessD] Rate for first time

There was a pretty good thread on this a while back so I'd check the archives, but in a nutshell $10 is far too low.  I charged my first client (a not for profit) $35 hr. and that was only because they were on a limited budget and I wanted the gig.

I know this has been asked a zillion times....
 
What is a fair hourly rate for developers? I have been asked to do my first outside developing for a company. Since this is my first time, is 10.00 hour too low?
 
They are wanting it set up as a consultant, is that different than an independent contractor? I am not sure what the difference would be tax wise? Any suggestions?
