February 9, 200521 yr 12 hour days during homestands, and you only get $500 a month? My question is: do you get a ring if we win? Then, I'd say it's worth it...

Oh my god! :whistle And think of it as a "Clubhouse" sort of venture. You might get to chill in the stadium with the Spanish oposse.

This screams out: Any sports fan that has rich parents that can support you while we pay you nothing and work you long hours apply now!!!!!!
February 9, 200521 yr Damn good experience I would imagine and it gets your foot in the door to maybe getting involved some way with the club but for $2 an hour, I dunno.
February 9, 200521 yr although if you're in the dugout you're all set. I found this to be a job perk.
February 9, 200521 yr But does that mean you dont get to watch games? Once I graduate I would be interested in trying that out for a year. 500 a month for 100 hours weeks seems like it has sweat shop written all over it. I wonder what other ones they have?
February 9, 200521 yr LOL LOL LOL $ 500 dls for 280 hours/MONTH?????? that's 1.785 /hour wait a minute u get free meals i think they were suppose to pay 2000 per month but because we signed delgado its 500 now.
February 9, 200521 yr well thats how they get away with it. You arent allowed to pay someone that little and call it a job. Atleast the stuff you do is interesting. I was actually going to try and get an intership with the panthers last summer, except a little thing called a lock out came and ruined everything

I am sure I would have enought 5 dollar beers to make up for it.
February 9, 200521 yr Quark is page layout software often used by newspapers and advertising firms to create (newspaper and ad) pages. Ironically I was the original beta-test site for Quark back in the eighties. I remember when Fred was a one man firm fighting against IBM and PageMaker for market share. He'd be at publishing conventions with his solo computer and fold-up desk in the corner of some exhibition hall when the big guys had 1000 sq ft booths in the center of all the action. Thing was he had the better product and ultimately he won over the users. Much like the Marlins he just didn't listen to media guys counting him out and just kept making his product better and better.
February 9, 200521 yr Basically you have to have no previous obligations. No job, no school and no social life.
February 9, 200521 yr 100 hours a week is out of control. But for the rest of the time it acutally isnt that bad considering that 21 + of the 90 hours a week for the homestands are watching games.

QuarkXPress is my machete; use it every hour of every day at work. I swear by it. :thumbup

February 9, 200521 yr I dont know where he found that story, but I found a link that has that and other jobs/internships http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...bs.jsp?c_id=fla
February 9, 200521 yr Author Basically you have to have no previous obligations. No job, no school and no social life. 680572[/snapback] Perfect 'job' for recent college grads. Delay those tuition loans while getting job experience and building some contacts. Most recent journalism grads are working as office temps, struggling to get published.
February 9, 200521 yr yes exactly. But you better be living at home for that year cause there is no way you could pay rent with that little. Atleast you get free meals at home games.

February 9, 200521 yr The only good thing is that maybe they would offer you a job at the end of the ten months.

I was a great program 12 years ago when I last used it and I can only imagine how good it is now. It really put Apple on the map as far as newspapers go and because he had the foresight to write it in C (or some variant I forget) he was able totransport it to the Windows platform when it came out.
