Adult design has gone to shit along with the lowball design prices...and it shows almost everywhere you look (except the quality programs out there who still know the value of a decent design to their bottom line). $200 for a paysite design?
I never whored myself out to ANYONE and it paid off with a 6-figure/year mainstream design gig with excellent benefits including no premiums for my medical and dental. 8 hour days...PERIOD and never am I asked for more than 40 hours a week. And we hit the titty bars harder than anyone in adult...champagne room every visit.
No one will ever take ANY designer seriously who doesn't charge what the job is worth so if cheap-ass designers want to always charge rediculously low prices, let them. But don't expect greater things to come. You label yourself as basically not worth crap the second you start undercutting to the point where there is no point in doing the work at all. And if you're in it for the T & A, I am seeing WAY more in real life from my mainstream job than you might be seeing on your PC monitor...and the best part is I have tons of time to enjoy it. I don't have to work 16 - 20 hour days to break even on my bills
BTW...we're hiring software writers who are proficient in C, C++ as well as server side code (php, asp, jsp, javascript). REDICULOUS salary to start. Must work inhouse and relocate to SE TX (ALL expenses paid). I did and it was worth it.
