Know Porsches? Know Computers? Pelican Parts is Hiring For Your Dream Job...

Wow, has the job market tanked to the point that someone with extensive Porsche, marketing and computer experience can be had for $20k?

FWIW, my dream job would be the Trojan Test Pilot...

Re: "knowing computers", I suspect in this case an applicant may be saying, "Yeah, I'm a coder. I can write HTML."

Software engineers need not apply.

I’m self taught in VB, sort of, does that count?

I only know enough about computers to be dangerous to myself, kind of like my knowledge of Porsches. Marketing, I give things away much more often than I sell them.

$20k? I think even my limited knowledge is worth more than that.

Edit: It does sound like fun though. If it wasn’t for the commute I might say what the hell and go for it. Luckily my wife could make up the difference.

That ad struck me as strange too. Someone with even rudimentary VB or coding knowledge is going to be looking for mid 50s in CA. Maybe they can find someone who will do it for the love of the cars, though.

At that salary I guess it's not a dream job....at least for me.

Perhaps a retired ex-mechanic / computer hacker type.

My boyfriend used to have the job before he was let go... made more then $20k but less then $40k. He took it because it was something fun to do...

He now works for Performance Products and is having a great time. I come here for the fun...
