    So far elance.com has gotten me decent wages that an American would expect; however, freelancer.com and vworker.com have yielded nothing but $5/hr crap jobs and projects where the …

    I've used elance, freelancer, and v-worker, and a few others without much success. The Aussie companies have retarded policies for allowing you to get your funds out of their accou…
