I've noticed that since the beginning of the year there are a lot more VFP jobs avail than there were during the last quarter of last year...plus I see that they seem to be paying better too. I don't personaly know the person seeking someone for a whopping $11/hr is but the person is either joking, on drugs, a con artist, someone trying to get something for nothing, a person simply trying to take advantage of someone, or some combination of the above. Whatever the case is, assuming they can find someone to actually take the job at such a low pay, the person will either be sooo junior that they can't even spell foxpro (in other words, useless) or will take the job only long enough to find another one.
