Popovich, you don't know what you're talking about.
You start a thread, and then you used it as a platform to basically call designers a bunch of charlattans, con-artists, and scammers that charge clients exorbiant amounts, amounst that are pure fiction.
You know what? That is absolutely insulting. You are insulting our industry. I have read the thread, and I have quoted your ignorance. Don't think I am not aware of what you have stated.
You've claimed this industry is in shambles because we don't have a "standard product" (Like a client ever needs the same thing twice!)
You've claimed this industry is bad because we don't all charge the same amount (Wtf, what a stupid, stupid notion)
You claim that because there isn't a magic calculator to come up with an hourly rate, we're somehow con-artists (You're an idiot....no industry that charges hourly is completely based in hard facts and reality....every contractor can come down on their prices, or inflate them when the moment is right....yes, even Doctors, Lawyers, Architects)
You say you seek some real way to determine pricing and revenue vs. expenses. I'M TELLING YOU. We already HAVE such a mechanism! It's called the free-market! We thrive and die by it. We might try and charge $300 an hour, but you will get very, very few clients, if any, at that rate! You fucking moron!
Have you even WORKED in design before? Or are you just a student?
