I don't know about right out of school, but what I'm seeing and  
hearing is that some very green AE users are doing jobs for $20 an  
hour that I just can't compete with. Whether they live at home with  
mum and dad or they are using bootleg software to make ends meet,  
these guys are impossible to compete with. It's obviously not on the  
scale of large VFX or broadcast studios cheating by stealing but the  
principle and the effect is the same.

Interesting discussion BTW
