I just think that people out there, ie Clients, just dont' know what they are getting themselves into at the best of times when dealing with the Freelance.com or Elance.com sites. Many of the people are not native English, so this leaves a lot of room for misunderstanding. Also, the fact that there is generally a MASSIVE difference in quality of design work that comes from professionals as opposed to some "fly by night" designers.

At the end of the day, it's important for the public to understand that professional designers are trained in designing with a purpose. In other words, we come up with a few concepts before determining which of those concepts it best suited toward the clients business goals. Whereas, these guys that charge $10 for a logo, slap something together real quick and call it a logo - something that has no real concept behind it.

I think that's the thing that gets my goat more than anything else.
