[Eug-lug] Interesting Craigslist job post...

[Ben Barrett]

I thought that was actually pretty good, FOR EUGENE.... the added benefit is
that the work will be open sourced, which is worth a lot.
I figured that it would be likely that some recent university student could
take on this job, although they don't have all the listed/desired
experience,
although that is the situation with many jobs ;)

My take on the hourly wage for this position:  $35-$100/hr, quite a range I
know....
For $35 I think a well-suited candidate would be willing to take the job,
for $100 the right person would be worth it!

Living wage should not be part of *this* discussion, it is an important
topic though.
