These days we all want to earn those dolla dolla billz, but sometimes taking an unpaid gig for a little while seems worth it.
Enter the Wu-Tang Clan.
The New York hip-hop crew’s management team is looking for a “social network manager” to run their various Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages, and took to the New York Craigslist yesterday to find the right person for the job.
Of course it’s unpaid, but so are most sweet gigs like these. It sounds like a role for an intern, though they never actually use that dirty word. Media outlets are jumping on it, though, because the work comes with no compensation. So clearly cash must not rule everything around you.
The ad reads:
“Wu-Tang Management is currently looking for people that are versed in social media networking and also up on the newest social networking trends.
