Is That So?
One person posted a message on an ad board, saying that if he’s able to complete a job in 30 minutes, that doesn’t mean he should be paid for the 30 minutes- but for the years he spent learning that job and perfecting his skills. We can see where he’s coming from, but that’s not how it works…
We appreciate this person’s lamenting; you spend so much time learning a skill and perfecting it and eventually all that hard work comes down to what people are willing to pay for a 30-minute job. But, you can’t expect people to pay for your education, right? That’s not how it works; eventually, you charge what people are willing to pay.
