    I've a slight problem with odesk. I've used them in the past for some freelancing jobs but stopped abruptly. The problem is that the marketplace is completely flooded with people who will work for next to nothing. Competition is non-existent, you will simply be beat out of almost every deal unless it is an extremely technical job that requires a very specific skill set.

    I found it not to be worth my time. I instead found a job in my city, where there is chance for improvement, job security, guaranteed hours, etc etc...

    I think that's a problem those of us who live in countries where $3 an hour won't cut it run into at all of these types of freelance sites.

    I've actually been fortunate with oDesk and am currently employed full time on oDesk payroll.

    The money isn't great, but it's in an industry I want to be in and has the potential to either be a good foot in the door for better positions or to help me do better in that field on my own.

    The first company I did work for actually required contractors to be from the U.S., so they also paid a tolerable wage.

    Bottom line. You have to look consistently and perhaps get a little lucky from time to time.
