Luke, I did tell him at one point that he should try one last time to get credit for the work. That is the thing I think that is making him ticked. He wants the credit to use on his resume and the school sort of took that away. The term unethical has been thrown around and I really don't think they planned this. Luke Crawford says>>>>>>>>> In the kid's place, I'd have focused on this part. "Hey, I put in all that free time to help you out... can you leave some kind of credit on the website, so I can more easily use it in my portfolio?" Old people like helping young people out with their careers, generally speaking. The thing is, when you are young, generally you don't get paid much in terms of cash, compared to what you will get paid later on. I'd been working as a computer guy for three years before I got any more than min. wage, and at first I didn't even get that. when you are at that scale, you should be focusing on the value of your experience over what you are getting paid. Sure, I could have worked at a fast food place and made a little more per hour, maybe, but my lifetime earnings are much better because I allowed myself to be 'exploited' as my stepmother put it. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
