Odesk works. I'm making on average at least 20g more than I was making at my last permanent job. You have to put in the work though, competition tight, you have to show an employer that you are better suited to do his/her job better than your peers. Summer 2010 mi start put in the work, applying for jobs daily, getting rejected daily but persevering and not quitting. Eventually I found a dream job that pays well and is good consistent work.
