But would they be able to produce a good web site? Probably not. $250K is a lot though. Wish my bosses we're in a position to offer that for any type of role! There's always a lot more to a job than what's communicated in it's ad. What am i doing? I hate blogs!! They just show everyone knows a lot about nothing.

My 6 year old can fire up DreamWeaver and put a page down. Too many "so called" "web devs" think they are worth a crap load whereas any Tom, Dick and Harriet can create a master piece with a html client ;/ Sheesh, 250K for a code monkey who uses a development tool?

I can't figure out why, for example, a customer service job, having a degree in art, media, theoretical physics or something else completely irrelevant, is considered better than 10 years of hands-on relevant experience. If all the blog consisted of was "good job" and similar, this place would be very boring. The combined voice of many residents may get things changed - after all, no company always gets it right.

Shouldn't we all let LL do as they please with who they hire, what positions they open, and what qualifications are required for that position? If you took the time to post comments that are actually needed, instead of spending so much time complaining, and helped out where they needed the help .... wouldn't we all have a better world to play in from day to day?? *giggles*

I heard of this thing called the internet which allows people from all over the world to interact. It came sometime after the television, as I recall. What’s with the geo-fetish for hiring?

A 'Pool' of people all offering something to the pot would be a far greater assest, controlled by a editor.... hmm let me think which business model that comes from? AHHH yes.. RL.
