What does everyone think about this?

I'm very curious to hear your comments. It's well worth a few minutes of your time.

Worth a read

there will always be someone cheaper than you. Think like a lawyer. Bill like an accountant.

But there's a lot to be said for it.

The more I read articles like that the less I take my job for granted!

Yeah, fucking elance and the rest - you can see it stinks from the very first page.
But then again, it's being suggested that it's a consequence of Globalisation... and the prices might need to be readjusted. But for who's benefit exactly?

Have Nikes fallen down in price because they're being produced in the Far East?

Well, I guess one way to do it could be the Nike method. We could find Indians/etc. who do good work and mark up the price on what they produce. capitalism? eh?

...but then again...would that be "fun" for any designer?
