So, I kind of got offered a job. A teensy one. It's a writing contract.

They want me to write 15,000 words. On handbag designers. For $300.

Right now, I'm thinking no thanks. I got $150 to write for the Hiram mag, and that was only, like, 2000 words. 15,000 words is about 60 pages. $3000, yeah, but $300?

Hmm. What do you all think?

Um.... That's 2 cents a word... That's not that good.

To be fair... I've earned a total of $50 since graduation. So maybe I'm not the best person to listen to.

That is pretty crappy pay, but if it would look good on a resume or would make a good clip for future job hunts, I'd do it in a second. Plus, its not like you have anything to lose here:

You get to write = fun.
You get to write about handbag designers = more fun.
You get paid to do it = worthwhile fun.

Also, I think 15,000 words is much less than 60 pages. I'm thinking it's more like half that...unless you double-space. Then it might be.

But that's just my opinion :)

I agree... Plus, I think 500 words equal 1 page single spaced, so 30 pages, or 60, depending on how you look at it.

money is money..
and resume builder is a good thing.

even though its gonna suck till you get a hang of it.. just bite the bullet and who knows.. something good may come of it.

so.. i say do it and dont stop to look behind you
