feckin students doing my job for free.

[hatwoman]

does wonders for my confidence. and my bank balance. can't blame them I suppose. nor the client of mine that's using them. but feel quite gutted. sign of the times I guess. though it'll be the better-off students who can afford to do this, rather than work in pubs, which seems unfair rom their pov too. arse and pants. freelancing sucks sometimes.

What job?

don't want to say really. suffice to say one that lots of students want to get into!

So you really want to set up a student referral scheme, where you match potential students with people who need the work doing - you get a fee for putting them together.

If you can't beat them, join them

that does suck - but surely they are not going to get the results you deliver? or are they ? ;)
