Funny Job Posting Title

Posted by admin on Sep 19, 2008 in Consumer Reviews | 0 comments

I’m not sure if this was planned before this week’s announcement that AIG was going under and the government was buying them up, but I found a job posting I had to tell you about…  The title of the posting = “FINANCIAL ADVISORS – MANAGE OUR MONEY.”  When you click on the job opening, what does it take you to?  It turns out it’s a job posting to become a financial advisor for AIG.  While I find it funny that AIG is asking for financial advisors to help them manage their money (after getting the government to buy a big chunk of them for around $83 billion), I found something that bugged me a little more.  Not to sound like an education snob, but when you look at the posting, they were looking for at least a 2-year degree.  Now if I’m looking for someone to manage my money, I think I’d want someone with a little more education.  Perhaps that’s why AIG was $75 billion in the hole, they’re advertising for less than college grads, yet have the audacity in the ad to say, “we only hire the best!”
