I hear you. Another thing that's hard to find, is somebody who is a
good programmer, and a good graphic designer. I don't really know
any, apart from myself, and I've been just shy of being called a lying
scumbag by a few HR companies over the years when they look at
my resume ;-)
This thread has really fired up my desire to go the states.... US$80
an hour for php.... daaaaaaaaaaaamn, that's a shitload more than I
make here, which is more like US$20/hr

I sense much beer in you. Beer leads to intoxication, intoxication to
hangovers, and hangovers to... suffering.
