A job I wouldn’t want

OK, maybe this might qualify as a dirty job. Either way, I would not want to do this:

URGENT !!! URGENT !!! URGENT !!!
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS, MEDICAL AIDES, NURSES, PHLEBOTOMISTS, & HOME MOMS:
PATERNITY COLLECTORS NEEDED
!!WE WILL TRAIN!!
Specimen Specialists, Inc. is seeking a highly competent individual to perform BUCCAL SWAB collections for court ordered paternity cases at CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES located in: CASTAIC, CA
You must be extremely reliable, accountable, and possess excellent interpersonal skills and have a cooperative attitude.
DEPENDABILITY A MUST!
RATE OF PAY: $20 per collection PLUS .30 cents per mile
If you are interested in this part time position and want to apply, please contact us.

Please have your resume ready to fax in order to be considered. If you leave a message, you must indicate your AREA CODE & TELEPHONE number & the CITY and STATE that you are replying to.

Just imagine the pictures that this ad conjures up. They’re looking for people, including HOME MOMS. They want to pay people to go stick swabs into an inmate’s mouth. For paternity cases.

I guess $20 per collection is enough, considering once you’re there, the hard part is done. But 30 cents a mile? C’mon, gas prices on average are at $3.40 a gallon. It’s already hard enough getting yourself to the correctional facility. Give a little here.
