They're very overated you know! And with standards as they are now.....I'd say virtually worthless.
Case in point.....my youngest son Scott who's 18....he was named after Bon actually.
Terrible dyslexia all his life, schools initially told us he was disruptive as they hadn't diagnosed it. I remember when he got suspended from junior school aged 9 for mooning at the dinner lady!
Anyway.....he came here at 14....tried one week in school and that was it. He then spent his time on the computer and went out of his way to learn.....anything and everything.
Because of his dyslexia he has a very heightened artistic talent so he specifically threw himself into that area. Now.....as I've mentioned before he has his own business subcontracting for various worldwide design houses.
But that work got noticed......and he seems to have found a nice market in designing forum templates for the music industry. Well a few months ago he did the Busted site, then he did Michael Buble.....and yesterday he was contacted by the management team of Marti Pellow......who told them he ONLY wanted Scott for the gig and nobody else!
So he's doing great.....and he did it all himself after the system had written him off.
So while he does webwork for giants of the music industry....I'm stuck at the opposite end of the market with the likes of Stravinsky, Tallbob, and an army of bloody Estate Agents!
