The Big Spill

About a week ago, I sent out my resume to about 15 different companies.
I want to help clean up this mess on our beaches...but get paid for it.
Received 5 emails, and 3 phone calls from some of the companies. I think
2 of them, I didn't even apply for, but here is how this job works.

Pay is anywhere from 300 to 400 a day, yep, that's right, A DAY. First
there is a weeks worth of training, you have to have your certificates
in order. If you don't have any, that's what the training is for. There
are 3 different locations you can work. One, on the beach. 2, collecting
what you clean up from on the beach. 3, processing what you pick up.

From what I gather, turnover rate is crazy high, meaning, people work
for about 4 to 6 weeks, get a little bit of pocket money, and then quit.
I was told that I could make supervisor in about 2 months and then the
pay is about 700 a week. 110 dollars out of your check a week goes
towards you room, which you share in a 2 bed hotel room, all meals and
use of the facilities. Room service is encluded, 3 meals and 2 snacks a
day. The good part is that no taxes are taking out of your pay, all
straight pay. They han d you a check and a truck is right there to cash
it.

I spoke with some of my cio workers and they said its not worth it cause
your health could be damaged cause of the oil. Hell, my LIFE could be
over just wwlaking across a street here in NY. I'm thinking about going
down there and giving it a shot for 6 months no matter what. They pay
for your ticket, round trip and supply you clothing also.
