outsourcing headaches

Dear all,

I got a request to make a web site and when I followed up I learned 
that the client decided to go with elance.com. He gets his site done 
by someone in  Romania for $180. (Yes, I know, numbers are a nono, 
but I think you should be aware of the scale I am talking of here).

Did any of you have a similar experience? Does anyone work 
(successfully) with elance.com? Do we have in the long run a chance 
to compete against rates low like this? Do we get our share of 
globalization fallout here and better think of changing our line of 
work?

I admit that these news really hit me and I feel I have to rethink 
from scratch my line of work I love doing so much.

Any and all input, thoughts and opinions appreciated.

Greetings,

:: doris
