    Apr 20 2011: I agree with Sargis, yes if you know your way around. As a ten year vet in the web design industry, designers need to pay more attention to the business side of things right now. If you don't know/understand/stick by proper contracts, you can leave a huge amount of money on the table or worse yet, leave yourself open to be screwed. You gotta have some business savvy, I completely agree!
