;) heh. I can't relate because I've been freelance since 2001, but I do remember how much I hated the fact that my bosses bought new cars and took trips and took credit for my work while I was making $8.50/hr as a junior webmonkey. Guess I never saw the future in it. But if I knew I'd be flying first class now, maybe I would reconsider...

>>In all seriousness, though, aren't people mostly paid what they're worth if they know how to demand it? Yes, but the caveat is that most people don't know how to calculate their worth relative to the organization(s) they work with/for, and of those that do, the majority probably don't know how to negotiate/ask.
