Fault of Clients or Students or Greed

I was out having a drink with a new friend I made. We discuss about working life so I brought up the normal discussion of unfair pricing clients request most of the time. He gave me a reply which was really shocking and I’d have never guessed it actually.

His comment or the cause of this is by the students in college or university. The same students studying and having too much free time before any of their exams. Normally I’d hear people agreeing with me but having said it’s the students, it got me thinking from the other perspective.

I’m not blaming and pointing fingers screaming it’s that particular parties fault. I really do wonder half the time why are our freelance prices so sh*tty. It’s becoming to be even not worth peanuts here.

I do see my friend’s view because students have raging hormones, the need to party and the greed for cash when you’re still that age. You want so many things but you don’t have enough and you can’t demand more allowance because it’s being invested into your college fees.

The neutral ground of all this I suppose is the greed. The hunger that we’ve learnt from our earlier fathers culture that we should get our bang for our buck. Though we might’ve taken it to a more extreme level.

The qualities or practice of paying what you get is being corrupted. Instead of paying RM2000 to hire professional website people and getting quality service, we’re faced by the challenge of having to offer lower because of the competitor who’s offering less quality at a cheaper price.

The hunger of greedy clients adds more to the corrupt working life and it’s really taking a tol on a lot of us. Many are beginning to ignore this and just go with it. Too afraid of not being able to earn anything because we learn from the oldest who might not be sometimes the wisest.

It’s if you don’t do what I say or follow what I do, I’m going to disown you.

But really, who’s fault do you think it is that’s affecting our current web market?
