It's not just the $11 an hour. Who knows what opportunities it may bring.
Absolutely!
One of the purposes of lower wage jobs is to show what you can do and that you're reliable.

$11.05 an hour and guaranteed 40 hours per week for month is pretty good for some of us!
It's a dollar more an hour than unemployment
Absolutely!

The education creep in this county is the biggest scam of this generation.
The B.A./B.S degree of today seems equivalent to a 10th grade education 40 years ago, or the 8th grade education of 60 years ago.
It is disgusting that young people should be expected to invest $40K (and up) to get a job they cannot support themselves on (apt. rents, along with everything else, are sky high)
I'm not to proud to do this. I won't be available for the first session, but unless I find something better in the meantime, I'll do the second.
I joke about being lazy, but I'm not going on the dole if I have a choice.
I see your point though. Many people would rather leech from the rest of us.
Geez, no love for post secondary educations around here. Tough crowd. I have a bachelors degree and the wife is finishing up her masters. I'm glad I have mine even though it is not required for an LEO. Like 88GT stated, even for new LEO applicants, having a degree is good as it shows that the applicant can follow through. There is many things to learn in a college setting.
I see no lost love for post secondary educations, I see people *****ing that employers may require a degree for a job that may not need one. But yep, how many employers given the chance would higher a H.S. dropout over someone with a H.S. diploma over a college degree? Even if the job only required a dropout level of education. If I was an employer generally speaking I would want the highest educated person for the job, because it shows they are willing to work for what they want. There is a flip side to that also, an employer may not want to go too high due to turnover.
Maybe I missed it but I did not see a job description that allow me to argue if a degree was warranted or not.
Our county seemed to win WWII without the majority of the troops having a college degree.
Thanks MadBomber for connecting INGO'ers with this opportunity.
Standardized tests are an important way to evaluate students in formal education. It makes sense to require the people judging essays and open-ended responses to have successfully completed formal education at a higher level than those being tested.
WRT the pay rate, it is comparable to substitute teacher pay in some Indiana school systems.
From their websites:
Lawrence Township (Marion County) - "The rate of pay for Certified Substitute Teaching is $70/day."
Hamilton Southeastern (Fishers) - "The pay for substitute teachers is $65 per day."
