Re: [PLUG] Possible Job Oppertunity


You can't discount the value of having an education.... However, with that
said, its a bit unreasonable to require a Bachelor's degree when the jobs
starting pay scale is $12/hr.

DCCC might argue that the low pay is because the job brings great benefits
and job security. Sometimes a job in education sector can be depended upon
as being a "job-for-life" depending on the department. Same thing goes
with certain government jobs.

An old roommate of mine works for the NSA as a java programmer. He can
make twice his salary in public sector, but the NSA comes with really good
job security.
