Sometimes they're worth it, sometimes they're not, we learn and move on.<br /><br />But, as you say, if you get stuck in the cycle of low paying jobs, you just burn out.<br /><br />We do this both because we're good at it and because we love it. We should not be punished because we're passionate about our work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-50392723458084207272009-05-19T08:21:00.000-04:002009-05-19T08:21:00.000-04:00@ Mary: Thank you for the kind comments.

I realized from looking at that second link in the "figuring out what to charge" that I could actually charge more than I am, given my experience level.
