If you think paid firemen stand around most of the time what do you think a full time mechanic is going to do?

To answer the title the college does this all the time. They already pick a person before they advertise. It's common practice and it should be banned. The whole point of having to advertise positions is to give others s chance to apply and possibly get the job. SU has pulled this scam for years.

Advertising was just a required formality....

I know 2 people, in an area with a lower cost of living, who are ASE master techs without the other certifications. They make $85,000 a year....

Always heard that a mechanic is a body man with his brains beat out.

With those certifications that person will make more than the Fire chief. Talk about a fat budget. What do they want next , drivers for the chiefs so they can pick their noses with both hands driving to and from work.

Classic Jake Day move. Wonder which one of his grossly unqualified friends will "wow them in the interview " this time.
