$7 an hour...? That's $7 more than I ever got volunteering... ;)
All my volunteering was for free, and largely not even recognized...
:)
Wait a sec, I can't remember if I corrected this or not now. I
might have paused at a message so long that I missed it when the BBS autologged me out if I wasn't watching pointers carefully...
The work that I was talking about wasn't volunteer; I must've had
not nearly enough coffee in me when I made that message. It was
501(c)3 non-profit charity work.
I've done some volunteer work in my
time, as well. Not a whole lot, but the unsung stuff that needs to be done on some days with nothing else going on. Plus multiple times when I've been out shoveling for others in the upper midwest where I just figured hell, this neighbor is older, this neighbor has health
problems, why not just do the whole face of the block?
Volunteer work has its benefits, and is probably something I should
look into more than just at Free Geek around here, but the work that
I was referencing there was really, _really_ underpaid interview specialist work for determining which applicants weren't fraudulently seeking funds and then, as funding was available, allocating and dispersing those funds to those who were truly in need.
I was always amazed that I made at much at that job as I did at
McD's as a trainee at the same time. Until I'd been at McD's for a month. Then I was making less helping those in desperate need than I
was poisoning those who wanted their cooked pink slime. :|
I think this is the first correction here... :)

sort that my hubby ends up doing, too...
That sort of work usually is way underpaid, since the agencies involved don't have much to work with...
