Re: I QUIT.... Working for nothing.

[Andy jackson] "Craig your rates do seem extreme even to me."

Markets are different due to cost of living. Some people think my rates are low.
I have lots of different things I do. Diversify.
Reporter demo reels (where my VNR experience comes in handy). This is actually a very good market.
Local Cable spots often one day wonders and sometimes handed to me by the cable company when the customer apparently wants something better than their freebee. Then I get the 15% agency fee for the media buy as well.
Then there's the corporate work.
I also do tech consulting where I'm either trouble shooting or otherwise doing tech setup.
