Hasta La Gadget!

Parents, start forwarding this to your kids. Apple’s hiring. As we know, a lot of college students are stuck with the same menial jobs their older siblings had years before them: working at a sub shop, coffee shop, Foot Locker, etc. Besides long hours and no time for homework, these aren’t exactly the type of jobs that give you benefits either. But wait! Apple is offering what sounds to be a dream job for students who are sick of asking customers if they’d like fries with that. 

Apple’s customer support group, known as AppleCare, offers a program for college students that allows them to work from home on a flexible schedule, and with benefits and perks. As an Apple At-Home-Advisor, you would help customers with technical support for Apple’s products and accessories — both software and hardware. We’re talking a full scale of products from iPhone to Apple TV.

These advisors don’t have to be a computer science major to apply for this job. Apparently, all college majors are considered for the year-long opportunity. And, good news: you don’t even have to be super smart — at least GPA-wise. You simply have to be enrolled in classes at a desginated college and have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher.

Of course, salaries are determined on qualifications and experience, but we hear it’s about $10 an hour. Apple will provide you with a free iMac and telephone, and will reimburse you with up to $50 a month to pay for your Internet and phone service. You’ll also receive full health benefits. That’s a pretty good deal considering you can work in your pajamas, which you’ll probably end up wearing to class anyways.
