[CAUT] Position Announcement, SIU, Carbondale, IL

[Keith Roberts]

60%!!!   You mean they think the piano technician should get the same as an
entry level clerk but they want a tech who has the equivalent of a masters
degree. That is disgusting. That's why you have to take the civil service
exam. You are just a college flunky like the rest of them. I hope no one
takes it and they have sub contract it out.
