I guess I'm thinking more of someone 'on my team' as in someone in a
musical 
group, or hired to work for/or with me on a project. Where as you might be

thinking as a contractor, you're gonna deal with a lot of questionable 
people, at least ego or attitude wise.  Sure, I come across that all the 
time, I was just thinking for the people one hires or teams up with, given
a 
choice I'll take the less talented person if they've got a better
attitude, 
over the hot shot with the attitude any day.   As in most jobs, raw talent

is great but perspiration is a huge factor in success, so the hard working

average talent is gonna blow away the lazy natural talent every time.
Unless 
you can find both in one person, and still afford them that is.
