  i troll craigslist a bit looking for gigs. it horrifies me to see people looking for html/css help and offering 9-12$/hr AND asking for a resume and portfolio. i made a fake email address just to respond to these crappy ads to tell them to go drown in an actrive volcano.

  could have made $9-12 in the time it took you to make the email address and respond to them.

  That's where i got my start as a student, and learned not to take shit from clients. It's a learning tool.

  I have the same inclination. I'm sure there's some high school kid someplace that needs that work. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

  • been watching the same ads pop up for about 6 months actually– kerus1/2

    Then they're masochistic and behind schedule. lol– Mimio2/2

  most of these ads arent looking for students, theyre looking for people desperate enough to take the crap wage.

  we are not cobbling shoes over here
  you can make more money at mcdonalds or bagging groceries

  • or in-n-out...they pay like $20/hr for some positions i saw lol– sublocked

  i guess my point is, if you accept a job like that you are as bad as the people trying to cheat you. have some pride in what you do, we have skills that people need. and in closing, KILL IT WITH FIRE

  • agreed.
    CL is a joke unless you want chlaymidia– tasty1/3

    I agree.– Mimio2/3

    you are correct sir– matt313/3

  i wonder if highend restaurants shake their fists at Mcdonalds for selling 99 cent burgers.

  • no way man, how else are they gunna feed the dish washers.
    
    RACIST!– tasty1/2

    when you go to mcdonalds you expect a $0.99 quality hamburger. These people expect $100/hr design for $10/hr, that is the difference– matt312/2

  Crap, I posted a similar rant on another board and they took it on themselves to mark the crappy ads as spam.

  (I may or may not have had anything to do with that)
