$12/hr is almost what the retailers are paying…

seriously, can you believe this ad?

Rev

…retailers (?)-like Jack-in-the-Box ???

Is that seriously what SF Art whatever is expecting to give for all that ???

4

retailers like a sporting goods store…

and yup, that is what they want for $12/hr…

I don’t qualify, and I charge a min. of $50/hr…

…I think my lawnmower makes $12 p/hr…

Ok - Mall retailers…yupYupyup - methInks our local IN&out Burger joint has senior flippers at near that wage… :!:

In N Out Burger managers make 6 figures a year. The ones in the Northern California area make a bit more since the cost of living is more expensive there.

But ****… that’s a pretty stingy offer for such a demanding skillset. And you start at 7 in the morning! Aww hell no!

7

It is a pain to start that early… but that’s okay, since you can’t afford to rent an apt. in San Francicso, you’ll be sleeping in the lab anyway…

This school charges $40k/yr for tuition…

insane.

Rev

Rev

13

'scuse me, I was thinking Jones and Eddy…

I try to stay away from there (even tho it’s just a couple blocks)

Rev

14

Wow Rev, that’s pretty low, I just landed a job that pays $20/hr that only ask for Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark Express knowledge.

15

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Rev

16

I wanted to go to that school so bad, way too far and way too pricey for me. :frowning:

17

from what I understand (I have never met a graduate), it is a fantastic school…

I just think it is odd I haven’t run into any alumni… maybe they all leave town when the graduate…

hmmmmm…

Rev

One of my professors was a graduate from there, he still does freelance work while teaching.

Itchy-Goo-Boeddeker Park (???) …

I prefer to call it “The TenderKnob.”

and I think they will get someone for $12, but not with an understanding of most of those programs…
