Daring Job Seeker Demands $500 A Week To Work On Thursdays, Might Work Few Weekends Depending On The Weather

Gone are the days when beggars couldn't be choosers. We can say that one daring individual shattered that notion with a jaw-dropping job request. 

The poster was seeking a part-time job that paid $500 a week, but this was where things got interesting—they were only available to work on Thursdays and every other weekend—unless it was nice outside. Oh, and paid time off? Non-negotiable, of course.

The ever-helpful Reddit community immediately rallied to brainstorm a fitting career. Their checklist: $500 weekly, can only work Thursdays and sporadic (rainy) weekends, and mandatory paid time off—shouldn’t be too hard.

Someone kindly pointed out that this person definitely meant $500 as a take-home, so everyone should consider tax deductions. Did someone call for a band of recruiters because what was this top-notch efficiency? 

With this new information in mind, they began brainstorming anew. After a while, some interesting ideas began to pop up.

From drug dealer to robber to an escort, the responses were hilarious. This sparked a virtual headhunting session where Redditors debated the pros and cons of each role with surprising seriousness.

Sadly, after many delegations, the team couldn’t find an exact match for this person’s demands. But there was some good news! If they were willing to compromise on a few (a lot) of their requirements, then maybe they stood a chance of actually landing a job.

Surprisingly, a seasoned HR application vetter revealed this scenario wasn't unique. A staggering 50% of applications mirrored such outrageous demands. Humorous as it was, the reality was alarming.
