I was at lunch with one consultant I have given several jobs too. He commented about that and added "All your clients are so darn *nice*. Why is that?" I told him it's because I don't work for jerks. If I don't like my client, if they are nasty or corrupt or distasteful, no amount of money will let them hire me. And of course I'm certainly not going to send some consultant I like into a place that I don't like!
