I beg to differ. You have made this assertion before.

Most part-time shoppers only accept the better assignments, so our going rate for assignments is higher overall than full-time shoppers.
My assertion was that the overall per assignment rate would be higher. I said most part-time shoppers and it's more than likely it's just some more experienced ones, but I feel strongly that my rate would go down if I took on more MS work. Obviously someone has to take the low-paying shops, but for me, as assignment has to be particularly attractive for me to consider it at this point in my MS career. I don't have a, "Hey, it's money!" attitude anymore and value my free time.
I agree with your assertion. My per assignment rate would take a precipitous dive if I took on more assignments that paid/reimbursed significantly less than my current per assignment rate. That being said, I'm happy to complete some "goodwill" assignments for some of the companies I work with.
