Seriously...

You should post the info so it can get some well deserved ridicule and very contemptuous attention. Shit like this has no business being tolerated anymore.?ÿ

The trouble lies in the fact that a local party chief only making 35K got excited when he read the ad.?ÿ?ÿ I bet he's already applied..

can you PRODUCE at 65 cents on the dollar?

He/she/it may be quite content providing they don't mind their vehicle providing their domicile.?ÿ ??ÿ

Sounds Like Colorado............. ??ÿ ??ÿ

Just saw a help wanted ad looking for a party chief with 5+ years of experience.

Salary range was $37,000K - $45,000; the company is located in a community with a median house price of $450,000 in a state with a median house price of $290,000.?ÿ

I turned down an offer to work for the state of Hawaii as a crew chief.?ÿ It only paid 45k.?ÿ It costs 65k to live there. Unless you want 5 roommates.

And that's why they are looking to hire....Won't keep anyone long for that salary

May 1973 Houston Lighting & Power made me my first job offer of $300 a month when I graduated from college

They hired a draftsman from my class at $900 a month.

Said that they would not pay surveyor crew members that much.

?ÿI laughed at the 2nd in command of surveying and walked out the door and came back to NE Texas and stayed.

A couple of years ago, I saw and ad for a company in south central Kentucky that had a job that paid $33,000....

In May of 1977 I was offered a job surveying for a construction company out of Houston.?ÿ They offered me $100,000 per year with 2 months off.?ÿ Of course this was to go to the Gulf of Oman to lay out an offshore tanker loading dock.?ÿ For a fellow who was making $5 per hour a year before it was hard to turn down.?ÿ But (1) I had been married about 3 months and my wife wasn't invited?ÿ, (2) as I told the fellow, "If all else fails I can walk home to Georgia from Texas, I can't walk home from over there."

I hear ya.

About that time a friend of mine was working in Saudi Arabia. One day a "telegram" showed up from the head office in the US. "Close the office, you're all fired, good luck."

He had (as I recall) $128 dollars in his pocket, and no ride home. He ended up "hitch hiking" and walking home. It took him about 3 months.

I heard an interesting take on this at our conference last month:

The reason the numbers are so low, for students enrolling in surveying classes; is because they can get an entry level position on a construction site and make $58.93 per hour. No formal education required...
