Dr. Phil Pays Less Than In N' Out Burger

TMZ found an interesting listing on EntertainmentCareers.net, for a part-time job at the Dr. Phil show. The kicker is what the job entails, and how much he is willing to pay this employee. The ad offers positions available for weekends (Saturday and Sunday), or the graveyard shift (11PM - 7AM).

The job is for a transcriber and requirements to gain employment are: previous experience and typing speed of 60 words per minute. The best part is the starting salary, a whopping $8.00 an hour, or roughly $16,000 dollars a year.

Now we can't help but compare these numbers to those that Dr. Phil just spent on his son's wedding. Let's assume that the good doctor spent $400,000 on the reception (which is pretty low by celebrity standards) and he had 400 people attend. That is $1000 a head. His new employee would have to work over 3 weeks just to sit down at the table! Plus, if this person tried to throw the same kind of fab wedding soiree, they would have to work for 25 YEARS! That means the average 22 year-old applicant would be 47 before they could cover the cost of the wedding.

All interested applicants should contact Todd Klotz at CBS/Paramount.

46. OK.....SO YOU SAY .....that a person would have to work 25 years and be 47 before they would be able to pay for the wedding that dr phil gave his son. WELLLLLL!!!!!!! give or take a few i would say that he has worked a good 25 years and is pretty darn near if not 47 already!!!!! HELLO the man studied and graduated ahead of his class by an entire 21/2 years,has his PHD. If most of us had his talent and brain to get as far as he has......we would give our kidds the same kinda of wedding. P DIDDY only pays his employees 9.00 an hour

47. Now, how do we know WHERE this is? $8 an hour goes WAY further in lets say, Texas, than it does in lets say, ummm, California. And $400,000 for a wedding. Well, let him enjoy the fruits of his labor! Heck when I got married 23 years ago, I, yes I personally forked out $6,000 of my own hard earned money. What would that equate to these days? Sure not $400,000, but then again, I am not an author, therapist, and celebrity. Again, let the man live his own life and everyone needs to worry more about thier own back yard than coveting what others have earned.
