            With that attitude you're never gonna get work. If that's how you look at it, the only solution is: Get more experience before looking for freelance work.

                True, but the old link still works as redirect. I'll get around to updating my links sometime soon - You can't expect anybody to keep up with a change made ONLY a year ago... ;P

                    1. Try getting experience/knowledge parallel to any development job you might have. Take extra courses, read books (coloured magazines with pictures of lightly dressed women don't help) 2) Try out sites like www.vworker.com[^] - make offers for small projects. But be realistic: Only make offers for stuff you're reasonably sure you can actually do. Making offers for stuff you can't do is a sure way to fail and get a negative rep. Build up the experience that way.

                              If you mean free instead of freelance, there are tons of homework questions posted here daily that you can take a shot at. You'll help out some poor miserable student who'll end up as a crappy developer anyway. So nothing gained, nothing lost (for him), and you get some coding experience. :-D

                                  Are you actually that stupid? You need to be an expert in a particular field/technology with a proven track record before you can get the big bucks you get contracting.

                                        I'ev just checked and I still have an account. I used to make a bit of pin money from it, but when it became "rewrite windows max $100" all the time I stopped going.

                                        I couldn't remember my old account details, so I thought I'd see if it had improved in that respect. But since the change to VWorker, you have to give them all your payment details before you can see what work is available. F that! :-D

                                          A friend of mine is working in a public school. A few weeks ago, she happened to ask one of the farting little sh!ts darling little kids what he wanted to do when he grew up. In full earnest, he replied "I'm not going to work with anything. I plan on winning the lottery or hacking some credit account"... How's that for a future pillar of society? X| I could have told him that it's easier mugging little old ladies at the ATM in the end of the month when they come to withdraw their pension... ;P
