5 Years Experience

I saw this job listing for CBS O&O WBZ in Boston and could only shake my head.

The station posted a job for a Temporary / Per Diem / Freelance Meteorologist. They want you to have at least 5 years experience before you think about applying for the job.

So, if you have 5+ years of experience, you can apply to work part-time, with no benefits, health insurance, or a 401K plan.

Sign me up! (sarcasm)

If you move to the Boston area, rent will run you somewhere around $2500 to $300o a month. It will cost a lot to live in the area, pay for gas and buy food.

But, for all of that, you get to work at a top 10 station with no set hours and basically be on their beck and call when they need you. I’m sure that science degree is all paid off, so at least you won’t have to worry about that.

This business is having a lot of trouble finding qualified people and when I see crap like this, I can fully understand why.

Do better….
