[Sigia-l] The value of an IA

[Taylor, Brett]

Oh, absolutely, there are a lot of people who are just starting out who will work for 30 an hour and quite frankly, should be only getting the 30 an hour. Just like when the web started and the flood of people rushed to its doors because of the money that could be made, the IA industry will be flooded within an other year of two and it is going to be much harder to be steady working contractors. I also think the value of just a single road IA is going to be much less valuable in several years as I already know that my skills in development and design are becoming extremely valuable along with my IA skills.

There's a lot of fresh blood out there, all scratching at the door.
You know how most sites on the web were built by someone's brother for
£100? And how your teenage nephew can build a flash site in an
afternoon? There's a lot of people out there who will be looking for
experience and willing to work for a lower rate (although $30 is v.
low!) in order to get on the ladder. Some of them will even turn out
to be quite good.

Quick, run for the hills...
