$20 An Hour

I got floored by something today. My Postmaster called everyone together for a short meeting. He announced that they were going to hire 5 new temporary city substitute carriers. These 5 were out of 10 that showed up for interviews. That's no big deal. What is astonishing is that 25 people were scheduled for interviews. You say what's so big about that. This is for a job that requires no prior experience, no degree, you'll get on the job training and get paid during that training and it pays $20 an hour! I haven't seen too many jobs out that pay that kind of money with no prior experience or degree. Also, remember the economy is seriously stinking right now so you would think that people would just at such a job. It floors me that less than half of those that were scheduled showed up. While the Postal Service is in a load of hurts, you can still make good money there right now. I know this from personal experience. Those people who didn't show up for those interviews missed a chance to make some good money. Cheers all!
