[ale] Since we're on the subject of jobs lately, again

[Jeff Lightner]

That reminds me of looking for a job and having the recruiters for
outsourced HP support send me an email about a night job for $12/hour.
Usually I reply "not interested" but that one so incensed me that I
responded telling the guy he wasn't going to get anyone good for that
rate.  He responded that he knew it was low but he did get people - it
explained rather elegantly why the average front line help desk person
knows a little less than your average preschooler.

Anyone looked a elance recently?  I find it amusing to see stuff like.

Need someone to duplicate the features of (Pick one, Amazon.com, 
Yahoo.com Google.com)  budget from $500 to $1000.

I'm looking for someone to do (some outrageous project with almost no 
specs).  Needs to be done in 14 days.  Paying up to $4 an hour.

Some of them are really funny.  I wonder if anyone in the states ever 
gets any work?  The budgets are pretty skimpy for the work they want
done.

Jim.
