$12.02 an hour

My friend came accross this ad on Craigslist. This company is offering a whopping $12.02 an hour for you recent college graduates. So much for fortune 100. This amounts to an annual salary (assuming 40 hours per week) of $25,000 before taxes. That is some shit wages. I was making more than $12.02 an hour before I had a college degree. Most college graduates have debt from loans. After taxes, you would be pulling in about $1700 a month. I don’t see how anyone can live off that. I emailed the company asking them if the ad was a joke or a misprint. I didn’t get a response. What college graduate would be willing to work for $12.02 an hour? It would have to be a worthless associates degree. Even then you could get a job at Walmart or Target making $15 an hour.

This part is funny too: “You must also have a STABLE work history - meaning, a minimum of 2 years with the same employer.” So they also want you to have two years of experience. Two years of experience and a college degree. They offer you $12.02 an hour. I bet people are applying left and right for that position.
