Not that I make that much, but if I could do all those things I would have my own start-up company and be making HELL-OF-A lot more then $55,000.
Hell, if that guy in the blue shirt is Pete Cashmore, I'd work for him if he'll let me Smash-it-more.
On the upside, this could be a seriously golden experience.
I wonder how much HE is making, or how much funding mashable is getting.
I havent been to the site in like half a year, mostly because theres nothing there thats worth reading.
How much funding they have anyway?
The applicant for the job is supposed to work from home. So Cashmore can afford a PA but not an office? How is one supposed to PA remotely, effectively, remotely effectively?
