That is the lowest one I've seen. Here in Denver they are low-balling the
salaries, too. I've seen $15-18, but they've specified entry level and
don't require you to read schematics. I interviewed for a job with similar
requirements (Frame & Schematics) that was paying $55-60,000 with benefits.

Unreal! Believe it or not, this real job was posted on a board (edited to
stay in the good graces of our Admin rules).
Methinks we can deliver pizza's for more money! Thank goodness some of us
have other industries to fall back on besides software/IT.
It sure is bleak out there if you see jobs floating around like this one.
