So lets say hypothetically, you’ve aquired a job to work for some ppl who are world renowned entertainers. Yea that’s a great opportunity! However they think they shouldn’t have to pay because they feel YOU should be feel privledged to do work for them. And they think that’s payment enough. And yes… sadly there are quite a few ppl in “the biz” that feel this way. And you know they can afford it I mean… Randy Moss said it best when he got fined 10G, when he mooned the Packers fans:

> KARE-TV of Minneapolis recorded the exchange between Moss and reporters outside the Vikings’ practice facility.

> Reporter: “Write the check yet, Randy?”  
> Moss: “When you’re rich you don’t write checks.”
> 
> Reporter: “If you don’t write checks, how do you pay these guys?”
> 
> Moss: “Straight cash, homey.”
> 
> Reporter: “Randy, are you upset about the fine?”
> 
> Moss: “No, cause it ain’t [expletive]. Ain’t nothing but 10 grand. What’s 10 grand to me? Ain’t [expletive] … Next time I might shake my [expletive].”

So… what is it you do? Do you bite the bullet, suck it up and bend. Or do you turn them away… knowning that this is a huge opportunity for you? If you do take the work, does it hurt your integrity as a designer? I mean… you do it once… and you do a great job, they may expect it again, and time is money… at least my time is.

Me personally, I think I’d turn around drop my pants and show them my high yellow buttocks, and walk out… but I say that now cause the opportunity hasn’t presented itself, yet.
