It for the Asst.

This is a job for a 1st or 2nd year out of college , entry level job.

Parents posting that $50 K a year for a 1st job out of college is " insultingly low pay " are the kind who also try to get their kids into Ivy as well as jobs.

Someone will a BA and NO proven JOB skills could also be a waiter.

50 K is a fair shake right out of school

Try again, it's not an entry-level job
