I make 20 dollars an hour to answer the phone and talk with repair shops all day just authorizing repairs under warranty and don't have any type of degree. That position sounds like they are trying to get a student still in school going for there masters to be there bitch part time

Yep, I see this all the time. We are always dealing with companies that know they can pay an offshore guy $7-10/ hr

Then they come up to us when the project blows up in their face.

Ummm I work sitting at a desk surfing the web and every now and then help my coworkers learn some computer stuff, then take some calls from county well fare case workers, and i am salaried but broken down is like $21.50/hr no degree just a lot of self taught computer knowledge.

I wouldn't do that for only $13/hr but then again in times like these people are just jumping at these jobs now and taking whatever, but $13 an hour is just wow.

Looks like more of a paid internship than a real job.

That's not even internship status.

All the CS/CSE majors I know who've gotten internships made like $20/hr. to basically do nothing (one worked for Intel and said they just asked him to file **** lol).

Plus "website administrator" really doesn't sound like a job title that requires a programming degree to fulfill.

Hahaha wow, I just reread it and saw the "Bachelor's degree a must" part. $13.00/hr for somebody who is 40-60k in student loan debt. Awesome.

The sad part is how common these bullshit companies are. I haven't had to job search for over a year, but when I did this kinda $10/hr web/graphic designer BS was rampant in the IE.
