Comment on Ask HN: What advice do you have for a student wanting to freelance?parent

Comments

I've heard that sites like Guru may not be the best approach because so many people are willing to work for next to nothing. Seeing as I'm unwilling to work for $5/hr, this seems troubling.

I think I once saw a posting where the bids were between $2 and $8 per hour. And people wonder why no one wants to go into programming!

Plenty of people want to program. More so now than ever before. Just because there is a market for $8/hour programming doesn't really mean anything. There is a market for $800/hour programming too, and everything in between.
