Make huge $$ cleaning people’s teeth!

Every day I scan my spam quarantine to see if any legitimate mail got snagged in there.  Seldom do I find real mail, but I’m often amused at the subject lines on spam messages.

spamThe first message in the quarantine this morning gave me a giggle:

Dental Assistant $50/hr min. salary

“Hmm,” I thought to myself.  ”Could it really be that Dental Assistants make a minimum of $100,000/year (assuming they work full time)?!  That seems just a little bit high to me.”

So I looked it up.

According to Salary.com, the median expected salary for a Dental Assistant in the United States is $33,127.  Assuming full time (2,000 hrs/year), that works out to $16.56/hr.  I suppose it’s possible that they only work 13 hours a week, in which case the $50/hr figure might be correct, but either way, it’s just a little bit misleading.

Perhaps I should just move on to

The secret to making money online

or even

High paying jobs in criminal justice

But probably I’m just as likely to strike it rich with

Cash in with wholesale dropshippers

or

Get cash following you on Twitter

The sad thing is that something like 40% of my incoming mail is trapped as spam, and that’s fairly low.  I’ve heard statistics that upwards of 80% of the mail floating around on the Internet is spam.  What a waste!
