That is a formulation I never head before but I love it.

My sister would rather go to a factory job, then start activelly asking IT companies for a job.

And then, she accepts IT commissions anyway, but only for near free. :alexjonesdemons:

Sorry for bad wording

3D commissions, that she spend 3 months on non-stop, to produce a cinematic, that was refused anyway.

So actually for free. She rather spende 3 months making her own research and working for a project, learning 3D from scratch, then learning something she could actually get paid for.

@LukeAlmighty @swashberry There's a strange liberty and compulsion in doing things for free that you don't have to do. As soon as I "must" do something and there's money involved it kills my motivation. Can't count how many times I've finished and submitted something at the last minute and it's only after it's "done" that I feel a strange urge to work on it or something similar again.

It's like the whole Tom Sawyer and whitewashing the fence thing I guess.
