Actually we need a labour union to be setting up the minimum wages and consultation fees and more importantly, weed out quacks! How many times have you lost a projects to quacks who under-quote you by an amazing factor since they have no idea what it involves<br>

<div>Good observation Mr Kagwe,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How many lawyers would give such information for free?</div>
<div>We IT guys only tend to charge for &#39;hands on&#39; work.</div>
<div>We sort of offer High Level Designs free of charge. We should introduce a consultation fee, just like doctors.</div>

<div>James, </div></div>
<div><br></div>When &quot;we can provide&quot;, where do you see the word &quot;free&quot;? LOL 
<div>Well, if it&#39;s implied, then these ICT professionals do make money through other means, and are willing to share information. Now , me here sees nothing wrong in sharing. It&#39;s how ICT guys live. If there was no sharing, this list wouldn&#39;t be there. Above all, sharing is our way of CSR - giving back to the community:)</div>
