Unfortunately, we also have people who are so certain they can write because they can string words together and put a period at the end. Because they can’t get paid a decent wage, they accept what they can, a byline for example. There’s not a real way, in my opinion, for some consumers to understand the difference between, say, a typist and a writer. They don’t understand you can’t get a high-performance vehicle for the same price a tricycle costs. They want to pay for that tricycle they have to put together and get the performance of a Jaguar XKR.

It’s why I stopped posting job listings here. I didn’t have the time to really discern among good and bad.

However, I’m at the point where I think we’re giving an awful lot of traffic to the crap employers.

Let crap writers and employers feed off each other, and those of us who are professionals will rise to the top with legitimate, properly-paying companies.

Crap pay gets crap results, and those sites can’t sustain traffic.

The writers can’t make a living and will eventually leave the field and scuttle back to their cubicles, slaving in jobs they hate.

We also shouldn’t send extra traffic to sites who pay crap. Unfortunately, we’re helping them.

If we can get folks to post on Friday and/or comment on Friday around the blogosphere, it could mean one less person taking lousy wages and making it tough on all of us.
