That is a quality counter argument. The next question is do people understand they get what they pay for...

In the past I would have been upset with such an offering. What I see now is a pathway. While none of us like to see a sys admin job for $10 - $12/hr, most folks would not apply. If this position helps someone move from retail sales, delivering pizza, working at Fry's grocery, ETC. Then this position has value by providing someone a pathway into what they might really like to be doing.

I would imagine whomever takes a position like this will stay just long enough to build a resume that will allow them to move to the next level.

Commentary on the Linux job market seems entirely on topic to me. But
that, is just one mans opinion.
What surprised me is the lack of people countering lisa's argument
with hard examples of how the market has not been comoditised to the
point of removing any since of humanity from the common offering.
