13. CONCLUSION
 No offense but just saying it's a job which can also be a
hobby. Don't judge a rag picker by its clothes. A person who
uses public transport will tell you, you never know when the
person sitting or standing beside you is a millionaire or trillion
air it's the way you look at a person.
 If you feel ashamed of what you do now. It will be a half
hearty work. It's better not to go by what others say about
what you do for living.
 Remember what Joker says when you're good at something
thing, why do it for free. It also applies for people who call me
for work flow related issues for their films, for free hoping to
get diy info. related to your film project or computers. I may
not be the expert but can't do it for free just because you
called someone who charged higher price. You should know
that person has mastered and unaccounted man hours
looking for solutions to wide range of scernios that's why a
person or firm charges high figures with a promise and smile
to deliver.
