China will pay you to surf the web for porn.
China is infamous for its "Great Firewall" and extensive cyber-censorship, but a new NGO called the "Safety Alliance" isn't concerned with political speech. It's looking to hire workers to surf the web in search of porn (not exactly a needle-in-a-haystack assignment).
Lest you think this is some kind of joke, it's not (or at least, it doesn't appear to be). As you can see from the translated job requirements, you'll need a college degree to perform the required tasks of the Chief Porn Identification Officer:
1. Research and study pornographic videos and images, formulate criteria for determining obscenity.2. Deploy courseware on the standards of obscenity determination, and study materials such as educational videos on pornography.
3. Manage and rate pornographic resources (including BT seeds, images, and online videos).
Job Requirements:
1. Familiarity with the different standards of determination of pornographic content of different countries;
2. Familiarity with the standards of determination and express regulations concerning pornography in Chinaâ??s law;
3. Familiarity with the standards of pornography identification used by CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center) and various major internet providers;
4. A bachelorâ??s degree or above; age between 20-35; all genders;
5. Possesses good teamwork skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.
The job pays about (U.S.) $32,000, although virtue is its own reward.
