Would you like a job with Oscar Meyer?

They are hiring wiener mobile drivers. It sounds like it might be fun, if you like adventure and travel

snip

requirements include a BA or BS (preferably in PR, journalism communications, advertising, or marketing), as well as a willingness to travel full time.

I just saw where Walmart is offering $90,000 (yes, that's the correct number of zeroes) to be a truck driver for them.

Weigh your options and paycheck.

No, I don't eat hot dogs and I couldn't represent the company then.

Walmarts is better pay, but, I will bet you have to load and unload that truck. Those drivers work hard for their money, and earn every penny too

I remember the Weiner Mobile driving through our quiet small neighborhood in IN, the driver stopped on my street & handed out whistles in the shape of the Weinermobile. Kids got on their bikes & followed behind as he stopped on other streets until he finally left the neighborhood...we rode home blowing our whistles. Exciting stuff when you're a kid & I still have it.

Oscar Meyer?

Lord, no!

Disgusting supporting an industry which has so many wrongs.

It’s like being asked to be a Virginia Slims cigarette model...uh, no.

A degree is needed to drive a hot dog truck?

@Citrine1you are sort of an Ambassador for the product, so I think they want someone well spoken

Yeah, I figured that. I was, more or less, joking. It's just that these days you need a college degree for so many jobs where they weren't required years ago, so I just had to comment!

@cherry That's the truth! I used to work for truck booking company and it's not an easy job. They always wanted the "no touch" deliveries.

I wouldn't, not at my age. It's PR job so I can see new college graduates with prerequisites jumping at the chance to do that job....for a year or two.

No, I don't think I am cut out for driving anything bigger than my mid size suv. I'd probably get into trouble, lol.I can see where it would be a hoot for the right people though.

My neighbor's grandson drives a big rig for Walmart. The grandson comes to visit and drives a few nice cars and all three of his little kids look nicely dressed all of the time. His wife, whom I have spoken with, also drives a really nice, expensive car. She told me that her family will be moving into a brand new custom home here in one of the nicer, upscale neighborhoods. She's a stay-at-home mom so I believe her Walmart-truck-driver husband must make good money.

@cherry @Laura14 Geez. I only have a 2-year AAB degree. I don't even qualify to drive a wienermobile.
