Re: The state of the web developing biz.

Hi,
I have run into the same problems, but additionally I've found that some 
companies expect you to have offices in some expensive area with a number 
of employees and are often disappointed when they see otherwise. As if I am 
less capable because I work from home.

I personally think the ' glamor ' of IT is gone and those designers that 
can make it through the rough spot will be well rewarded in the end.

Regards,
Thilo
