Description
"Spec work is defined as producing a piece for a potential client with no guarantee that your work will be chosen and/or paid for.

When put that way, spec work just doesn’t make sense. I mean, doing the work in the hopes of maybe getting paid for it? Who does that? No one outside of the creative community, that’s for sure. Yet this is becoming a common practice throughout the design industry, and companies are just preying upon the young and inexperienced."

An example outside of the creative community would be having several people all give you a meal, and you only paying for the one that you liked best. It just DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
