This place could be the friendliest, most motivating and fun work environment in the world and it wouldn't matter with what they are trying to pay. And what sort of quality are you getting under you if your pay is that low? I've spent many a season on the desk, and I don't know many people who will even work a copy editors position for that pay. Something tells me the power company doesn't care how great the work environment is if you can't cut them a check.

And cwilson3, let the Billy Bad Ass routine go. It's not impressive. I don't know Drip personally, but I have found him to be useful on the board. Maybe you could offer a different perspective without being a dick. There's enough frustration out there without getting banged on by some anonymous clown who thinks he's a tough guy.

Well said, Anonymous Tough Guy.

While everyone is getting nicknames, I guess this makes me "Random Comment Guy."

My name is my name. Kind of defeats the whole "anonymous tough guy" tag I was given.

OK, after reading all the name-calling and other shots about this paper on here, have to weigh in briefly:

Spent 20 months in Kerrville. Left with 18 state and regional writing awards and two section awards. On top of high schools and some Schreiner, also covered the NBA (including the playoffs through the championship series), Texas and Texas A&M football, Cowboys training camp in San Antonio and Cowboys-Texans game in Houston, PGA tournament in San Antonio, was sent to APSE convention as a contest judge and generally was given the chance to do anything I could manage to pull off.

The point? Any job (whatever the pay scale) is only as good as you are willing to make it ... within your ability, of course.

Maybe that's the issue with the people who have nothing but negative things to say?

That's great for you. The Schmid's loved you. However, once you have landed in their crosshairs, for whatever reason, you are toast. There's a reason why this job and and other positions on this paper, keep popping up and it's not because of the people hired.

killeen still has higher turnover rate, though.

Can you name the last three people to leave this job and tell why? Stop acting like you're some sort of insider.

The position has been filled by Paul Wallen, the former design director of the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale.
Thanks to those who applied.
