- Good idea, since you havn't a hope in hell of getting a job these days without
- being vastly over-qualified, he should do the work. He wouldn't get anything
- for it, but perhaps working for nothing is a good way to get a job. With all
- these animators working for nothing, market forces will do their thing, and
- old-timers with steady jobs might find their jobs not quite as steady as they
- thought, as clients come to think that reasonable fees are too high...
- Come on! You think this student is out of touch with the real world?!? You
- expect that working somehow magically lands a job? How is he supposed to work
- (before the job mysteriously appears) if he hasn't got his own equipment
- because people with established jobs bend over backwards to prevent students
- getting discounts?
-
- I'm not saying the world is easy, nor does having a job make it so, but really
- - arguing for a catch 22 situation strikes me as silly in the extreme.
