...I'm making $9 an hour right now doing tech support. And by tech support I mean picking up the phone, saying "Customer support this is Aaron", and then having to tell someone they bought a DVD, but that their computer only has a CD drive. ...I'd sooner chop off one of my feet than do an art job for $9 an hour. If you're…
We get it, "9-10$ an hour" is a joke, but I would like to see some realistic numbers being posted now. It doesn't need to be how much you make or ask, but an estimate will definitely help people who's getting started. :)

Self-respect…

I don't know. For me right now I'm doing this on my free time and I don't care much for the money, it's been 7 year i'm working…

Some people survive off of freelance but that comes from usually bigger companies with higher pay rolls; the average boss looking to hire freelance artists…
Who is everyone? Everyone from around the world? Unlikely that this will happen. Also Dollar? He is living in Canada, does that mean canadian or US dollars? It is just impossible to say "you should take at least this" its so highly dependent on the person and on its surroundings, his clients etc. Heck i can't even say to…
