Everything Offends Me
Today I was watching television, lamenting about finding a new job, and I saw a commercial for the Border Patrol and how they're hiring.
I was kind of excited, since I feel so strongly about controlling our borders and I figured I'd apply. I love law enforcement stuff, and have entertained the idea of doing the minute man thing, so I went to the website to see the requriements.
The first thing I saw was that the job only pays 35K a year. That's fine, I'd do it for that, as I am still working on my degree and whatnot, it could be kind of cool still. Then I saw the second part. It requires a Bachelors Degree.
Who the hell is gonna get a degree and then work for the Border Patrol making $35,000 a year? No wonder we can't get a group of effective agents.
For information to anyone who wants to do it, check out:
