Bleacher Report hiring for sports content distributor

I saw an ad for the great Bleacher Report website. Looks like a good opportunity since it's a paid position of $1200 a month and you get weekly regular hours from 9 to 5pm Monday to Friday. Not bad? Below is the ad. I did some research on Blecher Report and I found out it was one of the top sports sites online.

They're calling it a paid internship.

 

Do you guys think it's a good job/internship if you are paid $1200 a month for a 8 hour a day job?

 

Does it equate to $14,400 a year? OUCH. That is tough. A tolltaker for the Golden Gate Bridge makes $27 a hour.

 

Aren't internships in most careers full-time? Mine was, although it was unpaid and about 60 hours a week. It was only for six months or so, though.

 

my internship (a long, long time ago...) was 8 bucks an hour for 40 hours a week (paid) and another 20-30 a week (unpaid) because i loved it so much.

 

What are you, 9 years old? 10?

 

Beats working at Taco Bell.

 

$14K in San Francisco? That won't even get you a good park bench to sleep on!

 

I am no fan of Bleacher Report or the people who run the thing. Good luck to anyone who works for them. You'll need it.
