 NB>>$7 an hour...?   That's $7 more than I ever got volunteering... ;)
 NB>>All my volunteering was for free, and largely not even recognized...
 NB>>:)

 DAG> Wait a sec, I can't remember if I corrected this or not now.  I
 DAG> might have paused at a message so long that I missed it when the BBS
 DAG> autologged me out if I wasn't watching pointers carefully...

I think this is the first correction here...  :)

 DAG> The work that I was talking about wasn't volunteer; I must've had
 DAG> not nearly enough coffee in me when I made that message.  It was
 DAG> 501(c)3 non-profit charity work.  

Ah, that makes much better sense...  :)

 DAG> I've done some volunteer work in my
 DAG> time, as well.  Not a whole lot, but the unsung stuff that needs to be
 DAG> done on some days with nothing else going on.  Plus multiple times when
 DAG> I've been out shoveling for others in the upper midwest where I just
 DAG> figured hell, this neighbor is older, this neighbor has health
 DAG> problems, why not just do the whole face of the block?

That's more the sort of volunteer work I end up doing...  :)  Or the
sort that my hubby ends up doing, too...  

 DAG> Volunteer work has its benefits, and is probably something I should
 DAG> look into more than just at Free Geek around here, but the work that
 DAG> I was referencing there was really, _really_ underpaid interview
 DAG> specialist work for determining which applicants weren't fraudulently
 DAG> seeking funds and then, as funding was available, allocating and
 DAG> dispersing those funds to those who were truly in need.

That sort of work usually is way underpaid, since the agencies involved
don't have much to work with... 

 DAG> I was always amazed that I made at much at that job as I did at
 DAG> McD's as a trainee at the same time.  Until I'd been at McD's for a
 DAG> month.  Then I was making less helping those in desperate need than I
 DAG> was poisoning those who wanted their cooked pink slime.  :|

I know... ironic, isn't it...  ;(
