Very interesting! Thanks for the detailed reply. I do design work in oil and gas and my hours have been cut a lot lately, thought it might be something interesting to try on the side. Unfortunately, I know I wouldn't even be able to charge 10% of my current billing rate, I imagine somebodys always going to be undercutting you? Anywho, thanks again, Ill go check it out.
I mean, to an extent, yeah. But it's the typical situation you probably find anywhere. There are businesses that don't want quality, and they're never going to pay for it. And there are businesses that do want quality, and will pay for it. Or they're behind on a deadline due to someone else's screw-up and just need something fixed.
I never found it a consistent source of income, but it was good for beer money while in school.
