FLASH: Eastern European Competition: First the Olympics, Now This

[Brian]

Hi all---


    So I've been Flash freelancing for a while now, doing OK with work I

have had waiting for me.


Now, I also have signed up at guru.com & elance.com as a Flash "freelancer."


    The problem is, there are lots of Flashers of the eastern european

flashers (very good at it, I might add) out there, smoking my bids.  Many

are happy to work for $10.00 or even less an hour! HOw do they even maintain

their computers for that?!

    Now I'm not being alarmist, because I am aware that a solid company

isn't always going to want to hire some guy in Micronesia (non-existant

country)---But as far as freelancing--this is getting me to rethink a career

as a freelancer--which is a shame--I don't work well with others.

    Maybe I need to give up on the Flash, start my own web "studio" and hire

the Micronesians @15.00/hr!
