Rock AC In Need Of Out-Of-Market VoicetrackerWe're a Rock AC station in search of a midday voice tracker. Females STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY. Pay is $200/month for 5 weekly shows, each show 6 hours in length (around 36 tracks per show). Perfect candidate will have experience in an Active Rock environment, but will know how to deliver the format in a Top 40 fashion.
The above is another ACTUAL listing that I found over at AllAccess.com. This one is so ridiculous, I couldn't have made this up. I decided to do some basic math on their generous salary offer.
$200 per month for 5 weekly shows, 6 hours in length equating to 36 tracks per show.
720 tracks per month. 8640 tracks per year. That's $2,400 per year. That's less than $50 per week. Less than $10 PER SHOW. That's somewhere between $1.60 and $1.70 per hour.
The travesty is not the listing itself....but that someone out there somewhere is actually going to take the job! Un-freakin'-belivable.

LOL! Initially I thought it was a typo as well! But then I painfully realized that it WASN'T a typo. These fools know EXACTLY what they're doing. They should be embarrassed.
