If you know what MMO is, you are worth money. That’s just how it is.

Unfortunately, the assery on craigslist is not restricted to ads for writers. If you search the job ads period- you’ll find page-long lists of requirements and needed skills and experience, only to get to the bottom of the ad and find that the compensation is $8 to $10 dollars per hr. It seems most of the employers advertising have never heard that “you get what you pay for”.

They have heard it–they just don’t care. Notice how they say, “Pay depends on quality.” To me, this means they will use garbage, just pay less for it.
