So I graduated college a few months ago and have been steadily working since. I've had an insanely busy summer which included getting on my first feature. I'm super happy to finally be out of school and pursuing my goals.
One major issue I've ran into though is getting paid. I've had plenty of work over the course of the past several months, some of which was work out of state, so staying busy isn't a problem. But some clients have yet to pay me 3 months after a job and it worries me I'm going to have this problem for awhile.
I'm losing my patience, but I am keeping it cool and am still polite with these people. I even delivered my product to one client about 10 weeks ago and they still beating around the bush when it comes to paying me.
I live in a smaller market where unions aren't a thing and people expect quality work for minimum wage prices.
Is getting paid in a reasonable amount of time an issue most people run into?
Thanks,
Jon.
