HOW TO GET OUT OF WEB DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT NOW!!!!?
May 9th
Question by greg29:
How to get out of Web Design/Development NOW!!!!?
Hello Yahoo
I am in need of some advice on how to change jobs/careers out of web site design/development. I have had various temp contract jobs over the past 3 yrs and I am exhausted of the job security.
It seems to me that in 2007-08, with all this cheesy myspace, youtube, and user generated content, web design is a very broad term, and amateur designers with no background are using the web for crap, and on the other side their is too many languages to learn, and each back-end web project is various(php or asp.net, or joomla, or vb or c# with ruby or j2ee with sharepoint);
And a lot of jobs now are very basic, (like sending out a email newsletter ) 20hrs/part time, or designer/SEO, or back end asp.net programming on some stupid intranet that gets updated each 6 months, its not even worth being a full-time employee in my opinion.
All in all, I want to know, is this type of work worth a FULL_TIME DAY job, or is it worth part-time, contract, remote projects from home?
I am sick & exhausted of looking for web development day jobs (and each single one has a different technical skillset; large headache, some have a small scope (like xhtml/css markup and posting pdfs),& some have a unrealistic scope,like 5 yrs AJAX/ and GIS mapping with SQL server and high end graphics)
And moreover, how can you transfer into another line of work, when all your skills are technical/web-related? I have had a nightmare time trying to go into other fields (like sales, or finance or even customer service??
I am going insane with this, am I the only one???
Need serious professional advice. Any thoughts

There hasn’t been a time where I do not see at least two or three spiders crawling our site. We really have a great product and a desire to give people service that is just hard to find these days!

WHO’S CHANGED THE WORLD MORE? 60S HIPPIES, OR TECH SAVVY ACTIVISTS LIKE WWW.AGGRESSIVETEES.COM OWNER REGGIE?
May 7th
Question by opn232003:
Who’s changed the world more? 60s hippies, or tech savvy activists like www.aggressivetees.com owner reggie?
Modern Activists’ Armed With Technology.
Gone are the days of long hair, free love, and drug abuse. Today’s activists are technology savvy, trendy, and innovative. Take Aggressive founder and owner Reggie DeShields Jr. This 27 year old architecture student has built a clothing line of politically conscious apparel that boasted earnings of 1.2 million dollars in 2006. The young activist/entrepreneur reflects on the company’s nearly accidental beginnings.
“It just started out as more of an emotion than an idea. I was always passionate about things I felt were wrong with the world and things that I wanted to change. I was seeing all of these injustices and it angered me so much. I had to get some of that anger out, so I learned how to make my own t-shirts with messages showing what I wanted the world to know. After a while people started asking me ‘where did you get that shirt?’ When I told them ‘I made it’, they asked me if I could make them one too. Then, when I put the shirts on a website, aggressivetees.com was born.”
What started as an emotional release for the young husband and dad quickly turned into a full-time project as he was forced to quit his day job. Being personal savvy was a key factor in the endeavor’s early success as Reggie immediately began harnessing the power of the world wide web to promote his brand. Through affiliates groups, pay per click advertising, on the web social groups, free classifieds, and SEO, his business grew more quickly than he could handle alone. Fast forward 2 years later, and Aggressive now houses 18 employees in its New Jersey office.
Even still, he has managed to remain humble in the midst of all this success stating that, “the reason my business took off so fast was because I had a message of liberty, and liberty is contagious. All I really had to do was fan the flames.”
Who has changed the world more? Was it the rebellious, marijuana smoking hippies who complained about the man all day while listening to music? Or is it the technically inclined, businessperson activists of today? You be the judge.
Reggie’s only advice for anyone thinking of starting an activism business is, “Remember that it doesn’t matter if you see immediate success with trying to educate people or make a positive change in the world. There is no such thing as being unsuccessful when it comes to these endeavors because you are planting seeds that will grow to make the world a superior place even after you’re dead and gone. If that isn’t success, I don’t know what is.”
