Re: [asterisk-biz] How to live in this world without job

I dont agree with having people sign up at these bidding sites, i think they are a bit over rated.
besides that, andy might have a small niche here of people needing things done, now why should
he go and compete with thousands of others on some bidding site. we are speaking of someone
 probably without alot of funds at the moment, and in order to get any real work from these bidding
site well most of them require you to pay for some type of gold level fee which is just rediculous.
I know a group of programmers i outsource all my development to, no bids, no comptetition,
they work i pay, been that way for 10+ years now, so if anyone has projects they need done
programming or systems wise, they can let me know, ive got the developers hungry and waiting
as for graphics and web design, i have work i think maybe andy could accomplish.

Hey Drew, Andy should get his shit together and bid on projects at 99designs.

If he's got a half decent portfolio there is plenty of work to bid on there.

I suppose you missed this little bit "Sorry, they do have a purpose, and some are very fair" or maybe you wouldn't be attempting to correct me.

A stereotype is a natural thing for humans, we group, classify, assign a genus and phylum...  It is how we make sense of things.  Like it or not, stereotypes are generally correct, although there are exceptions to everything, as I stated in the beginning.

I have worked with many of them and as I said, some are very fair.  I liken the rest to the now extinct subprime mortgage brokers.

Thanks,
Steve T
