[Hidden-tech] Thanks to all those great Web designers - curious about the new generation/work expectations

[Lynne Rudié]

This is a really interesting thread, much to think about.

One of the challenges for us "seasoned" professionals is in how to put  
a value on our experience. My days as a whiz kid are long gone, and at  
this point there will always be people who are more state-of-the-art  
with their software than I am. But I know how to meet a deadline and  
manage a budget, I know how to make and maintain relationships, and I  
do good teamwork. I also know lots of people and give good advice. My  
experience is valuable to me too, in terms of being able to decide who  
I want to work with and knowing what I'm good at. Some things you can  
learn in school and some things you can only learn by doing them. Some  
clients know that you get what you pay for, and some don't.

It's a big world. There's room for everybody.
