Face it with the falling price and ease of use of softeware, digital reproduction material etc some formally high paying jobs are becoming obsolete. What used to require a 20k investment and 4 yrs of formal schooling can now be done with 1k and a month of self teaching. add that to the fact that the internet has made most commerce global meaning and american designer that lives in california with a $800 a month rent payment is competing for my business against a Russian desiner with a $200 a month rent payment and you can imagine who is setting the lower price and going to get the job.
You're missing the point. Sure I could go to a russian designer and get my site designed cheaper. Although the site will look like someone threw up on it.

If you want quality work, you pay the extra couple hundred bucks and get a site you can be proud of.

Anyone can use dreamweaver.... not many can make a kick ass website.

If you want to go to the 15 year old in Russia with front page to get your site done because it's cheaper, then more power to you. Hope you get lots of joins from it.
