I do little computer things for friends and stuff, help out here and there. I never charge anything though, I just do it cause I like the help folks. I figure I've been given the ability to work, might as well show the love and pay it forward.

there ya go...quit slaving for the company and determine your own path more truly.

This is a great way to look at it. I personally require the folks I am doing work for the be very involved so they learn a thing or two. So many folks for example have no idea how easy it can be to change oil, etc. depending on the vehicle.

^ This...I see and hear it happen all the time be it auto, electric, or electronic related. If you are going to ask at least have the courtesy to do it outside of the place of employment. So many states now are "at-will" employment which means a place could fire you on the spot for even discussing something that would be considered competitive business practice.

This all being said I usually only do the work in a few scenarios; volunteer/donation, teaching, or bartering. I like bartering because especially in today's economy it can go much. much further.

You really need to watch bartering now though. The IRS is coming down hard on people who find, *ahem*, alternative ways of gaining compensation. Technically if you barter with someone you need to report it as income, and report what you took in as payment and 1099 the person.

In other words, keep it quiet. Also know that if someone you barter with gets caught, they'll be forced to rat you out and you'll have the IRS knocking at your door. And they are not polite. They'll also harass everyone you know as well, just because they can.

You're right, and that you are right makes me sick to my stomach. Just shows how this country is going down the toilet. Too many people with so little confidence that they feel they must look to preserve and expand government programs that they, wrongly IMO, assume will save them.
