I think you may find that said training may end up bringing you more work. <br><br>I've had a few clients that get excited about doing more technical work on their website, often they break something that I then fix, or realize that a few training sessions does not an expert make.<br>
<br>Either way, if this "friend" wants to get trained, they will. Regardless of if you do the training or not.<br><br>If your just not interested in training them, you could recommend they take a course from a firm that specializes in that.<br>

This friend has a few basic technical skills, and dabbles in side projects. We're using Drupal for several projects at said friend's job. I've heard the analogy that "A plumber wouldn't teach you how to fix the pipes", and I'm looking for a nice way to say that to my friend. Has anyone else had to deal with this situation? How did it turn out?<br>
<br>Honestly I have no interest in training anyone to independently do the work that puts food on my table. I've thought about just charging 3x my normal rate and milking it. Is that wrong?<br><font color="#888888"><br>
