Re: FN-FORUM: projects that annoy me.

I registered to both getafreelancer.com and scriptlance.com to look
for new markets and new opportunities, however what I found is very
discouraging. I'm currently abroad, US dollars make a difference here
but there is a limit, I won't contribute to devalue my work. I can't
help but wonder what exactly is delivered by the ones offering $100
for a job that should be done for at least three or four times that.
