[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 97391, member: 1285"] Re: Money $$$$$ My point is that once you have passed the selection process, once you are one of the select few, you are entitled to a high wage because you are one of the very few, as opposed to accepting a low wage because there are lots of people wanting the job you have. If I was working in sound, I would probably whine about my wages. As it is, what I do I do for free, if someone for some strange reason insists on paying I suggest donation to either the church piano fund or my wife's travel fund for her students. Being paid a decent amount for your work is not only a question of paying the bills, but also a question of pride (if you don't want to pay me what I think I'm worth, then you better not hire me). This is true, but what sort of competence is it indicative of? Your ability to provide good sound or your ability to convince your investors and your bank to throw more money at you? Is the need for the latest and biggest rig and the shiniest and biggest 16-wheelers dictated by your actual need for the equipment or your need to show your clients that you are successful? [/QUOTE]
