Location: West Dallas
Compensation: $10 hour

I know that the economy is tough in the US, but the Dallas Cowboys Merchandising is a multi-million dollars company. They are looking for one person that is:

  • Product photographer
  • Desktop publishing
  • Web Designer
  • Programmer (javascript...)

All that for $10/hr around 15 hours week = $625 (before tax) per month to become $1650 per month as a full time! And that's not even for training, but for somebody with at least 4 or 5 years experience. Even squeegee kids make more money than that.

Since that person must be a graphic designer, he/she can make a one page flyer and distribute it an hour a day for a full month to businesses. This will generate work for a bigger income than the $625/month offered by the Dallas Cowboys Merchandising.
