Much better for you, you mean.
The reason you usually need to work dirt cheap to compete in those freelance programmer marketplaces is that you live in a place with a high cost of living.
- anovikov 11y agoSo you meant to say that with programming, the problem is complicated because it opens up the market from people from all over the world, and for industries that can't be outsourced, like barbershops, things aren't that bad?
- saint_fiasco 11y agoI guess I just don't see an open market with no barrier to entry as "bad". The possibility of outsourcing does force people to face this fact head-on, but even with barbershops barriers to entry mean higher prices for the end-consumer, higher operating costs for the barbers and unemployment for the almost-barbers who are excluded.
