There's an interesting job opening out there for the help desk...it supposedly pays:

Salary/Wage: 10.00 - 15.00 USD /year

I think I'll pass.

Well, for an internship it's not the *worst* pay, I suppose.

Maybe...

.. but you can still get six highly qualified Indian techs living in Delhi for that. :)

Yeah, but that's $15 an hour. The ad is for $15 a year!

I interviewed for them once and upon hearing their pay structure declined the position.... that ad might not be too far off.

Awesome. I'm posting this to mock_the_stupid, if you don't mind. :)

Sorry to be off topic, but the critter in your icon is adorable. What is it?

I did 2 years time as a New Horizons instructor. After "corporate restructuring," they came up with this new idea: get fools to pay $6,000 for A+ & Network+ cert training & testing, then they'll "hire" you as an intern. You make NOTHING until they "evaluate" you a month later, at which time they'll tell you you need to pay $20,000 for MCSE training, THEN they'll hire you as an instructor for $25,000/yr. Oh did I mention that as an instructor, you're expected to teach 5 days a week, and prep for new classes on your own time?
Yes, I went back to tech support after that - it was easier!
