Would people who don't want these low-paying jobs please quit
whining and keep it to themselves?   Maybe they are interesting
opportunities for the right people -- in this case, someone living
in Chicago who's interested in film and not getting much of a
stipend.  No one's forcing you to apply for it; just delete the message
and get on with your life.    And if you take low wages as an
insult, then get out of academia!
