[TriLUG] OT: Job - $12/hr WOW!

[Allen Freeman]

This thread reminds me of a post to Trilug many years ago during the depths of the tech bust in the Triangle. After many months of the "computers/it" section of the classifieds not even showing up in the newspaper someone posts up a job looking for a Unix sysadmin with godlike DBA skills and the ability to code in some obscene number of languages, advertised salary: $10.50hr.

  Being that wine and travel are involved... I am guessing that one
must be 21 years of age to be considered for the position.  Sadly,
there are plenty of companies in the area that offer similar rates for
IT jobs, and the ammount of contracting in the area has most
undoubtedly skewed the numbers.  However, I believe it is safe to say
that Greg has not researched average salary for IT positions (let
alone web development positions) before he went fishing for some help.

Its kind of sad really. The project sounds minutely interesting.
