[SlugLUG] Job Opportunity forwarded to me...

[Matt Thrailkill]

Knowing PHP/mysql, and Javascript/CSS isn't exactly elite.  I can
understand if it doesn't command a generous salary.  The description
isn't acting for a degree or anything really fancy.  I'm just some guy,
and I think I qualify.

So when I saw $60k for that.. I didn't think it was cheap, I thought it
was alot for a list of such few qualifications.
