You might think that, eight months out of work and two and a half months past the end of severance pay, I would snap at just about any possible job. You would be wrong. Here is some of what is out there, served up on listings I’ve signed up for.
Video Game Tester - Xbox Wii Playstation PC - Needed Immediately - Make Up To $30/Hour!
I played one game of Space Invaders one night in a bar, maybe in 1980. I’m out of the demographic.
Writers wanted for academic writing
We are interested in writers with prior experience in academic writing (essays, term papers, research papers, etc.).
College kids should write their own damn term papers.
WORK WITH BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. Make $5000/Mo. Online...Part Time. Proven System, Huge Company
$5,000 a month for just typing some things into the Internet for a couple of hours a day. Older readers may recall classified ads in the back of magazines telling readers they could make big bucks stuffing envelopes at home; this appears to be the contemporary version.
FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY. Make 5k/Month Working From Home. Limited Positions
Uh-huh. This one looks to be a variation on the previous one.
The money-laundering scheme
The offer, deleted pretty much as soon as it landed in my computer, told me that all I needed to do was sit at home for a couple hours a day to receive foreign money transfers in my bank account and ship them to another one.
I suppose that becoming a guest of the state would solve the problem of my upkeep, but I hear that the food is terrible.
“Editor”
That was the title anyhow.
Requirement: a high school diploma.
