A former cow-erker of mine emailed me about an opening with a large, stable company. Details below, email me your resume and I'll pass it along if you are interested. Sorry for the HTML email, but I wanted to preserve the job description in the original format.

Know anybody who is interested in a hardware position? It is $40K to $50K. If you do, have them send me a resume, I'll get it to the interviewer. Update: I don't want to put a damper on anyone's enthusiasm. Not having a degree will not count them out, but they will be in line after the applicants who do have a degree or are working on it.
