Garbage!
first you obtain the skills, THEN you charge for applying them, not the other way around.
If I am paying for, let's say, medical treatment, I don't want to be paying some learner who is googling how to do the next stage of his 1st operation!
but hey, if you want a hernia removed cheap, just drop me a blank cheque & I'll go sharpen some knives - can't be that hard to do
TIP - google "professional", google "amateur" - keep going until you get the difference.
I am just imagining a medical forum where a "doctor" posts - "hey guys I've just cut my first private patient open, now can anyone tell me what this squiggly bit is...."
