I did preface my statement with "any honest worker from the Philippines, or any of these other 3rd world countries will have a harder and harder time getting work." The bottom line is that if a person from the US accepts a full time job at $400 a month, then nobody would hire him.. but, if he represents himself from a 3rd world country where $400 is equal to $4,000 in the US, and turns out to be a scammer, then it will make it harder and harder for any legitimate worker from another country to find work with any of us here.

As far as having A LOT to learn.. you are correct.. even after 7 years of working in this industry, I can always admit there is so much more to learn... Like most of us.. we do learn from our mistakes.. or, at least we should be...

P.S. I like your design stuff to say the least... I may just be hitting you up...
ha ha, rereading what I wrote I might be sound kinda harsh, I just tried to say that be careful of US webmasters more than other countries. I don't know, maybe because it's more difficult to get work or whatever, but non-US people tends to be more careful about jobs. There are exceptions, of course, and maybe we'd agree on the classic "if it sounds too good..."

btw, glad you like my designs, hope we can work on something
