Looking for the part where it says "paid"

haha that's true. I only know it is paid as a friend of mine worked there before and loved it.

If I was twenty years younger...sleep, who needed it..money, sure used it...travel, loved it...
You young folk with no family, responsibility and have parents nagging you to get a job for the summer, it looks to be a dream job!

TYPICAL HOURS:
Most days will begin between 5-6 a.m. and end between 8-10 p.m. every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. If you are not a morning person, require 8 hours of sleep nightly, or have difficulty being away from your family or friends for extended periods of time, this internship is not for you.

TOURNAMENT TRAVEL:
All intern teams travel via the RCGA's corporate trucks. Travel distances between championships vary and you will be expected to drive up to 8 hours daily.

SALARY:
$450/week + Per Diem. (All tournament-related expenses paid by the RCGA)

That's an annualized salary of $23,400 to work 14-17 hour days and be a truck driver. There are labour laws that govern this sort of worker abuse. Calling it an "intern" doesn't excuse it.

haha. those driving ones were the first ones to get lobbed off the list for me. I worked for a trucking company when I was in high school.

No kidding.

I wonder if they make them sew sweatshirts in the back of the truck

tk1360 · Feb 2, 2010, 08:47 AM

No. That would be inhumane. I think the real value for that driving job is the opportunity to drive across Canada and playing at a variety of golf courses. It may not be suited to be as my fiance would kill me but to that 18-20 year old looking for a fun job I think it would be awesome.

Also that job post would definitely make people think long and hard about applying unless they were really passionate about golf.

You also need 11 continuous hours off between shifts... yikes!!

I kinda want to apply, but it seems like A LOT of truck driving.
