YNDC Logistics Coordinator Position

[Rick Rowlands]

Maybe since all of the YNDC people are pointy head intellectuals, they cannot relate to people who didn't need college to get where they are.  Discriminate against those who are not in the "college club" perhaps?

DITTO for me.... rediculous and "boogee"


(pronounced boo-geeeeeeeeeee....LOL)

Agree with you .... 90% of the work can and is being done by high school grads ... college degree to wash equipment? ... college degree to take care of tools? Give me a break! Be up to speed with tablets; iphones Google and Microsoft Office? Any bloody fool can meet their requirements. Also $13.00 an hour part time? New Minimum Wage is $15.00 the last time I heard, and what College Grad is going to take a part time job that pays below minimum wage?

I didn't see it listed on the forum but the YNDC has a job opening:

Note that a bachelors degree is required and the job pays $13 an hour. 

After reading through the job description, I simply do not see why a college degree is required for a part time position that is mostly involved in hands on construction work. 

There are many people in this area who do this kind of work every day and many do not have degrees.  What YNDC is doing here is restricting the candidate pool unnecessarily and tossing out potentially good candidates because they are stuck in the past, unable to realize that college is but one tool in the toolbox of education.

And after getting your bachelors degree, how disgusting it must be to work making less than the $15 an hour that fast food workers are demanding across the country.
