Like I mentioned above, I think it's a lot more interesting to discuss what someone with some years of industry experience, some small to medium amount of money and at least some degree of technical skills in one area or another could achieve in 2013. Not debating whether you can find someone who just dropped into the business yesterday after having never given it any thought in his life before and $500 bucks in his pocket could do.

Why? Because thats what he feels his time is worth and could probably make that elsewhere, it was possible to do at one time, so he was asking if it is now. I think its a fair question considering it wasn't all that long ago that it was possible to come in with no experience and make alot of money
I know alot of lazy people who didn't know this industry very well when they made their money (years ago). He was trying to get an understanding of how much tougher its gotten.
Also he didn't say no experience and only 500 bucks, he actually said 50k (upwards of 100) as a rough number.
And yes theres other interesting things to discuss and maybe those things will be touched on, as for the previous 6 pages, people have been touching on that because its what was asked. because thats the position hes in.
