Local Bus Service Advertising

I noticed the Wiesbaden city bus service is looking trainee-drivers.

The career chatter?

 "Are you fascinated by large vehicles and especially buses? You like taking responsibility. Do you have a high level of service orientation for employees and customers? Do you have a passion for technology? You have a talent for organization and enjoy planning the deployment of people and vehicles to ensure that bus operations run smoothly. If these questions apply to you, then training to become a *driving specialist* is exactly the right thing for you."

To be honest, if you approached 10,000 folks....the vast majority would say 'no thanks'....they weren't into large vehicles.

So here's the catch.....first year's pay scale (39 hours per week)?  1,218 Euro.  You can figure after taxes, health insurance....you'd barely bring home 800 Euro.  It's just not that enticing.  But you get some pension points.  

The plus?  Free swimming pool pass.  

Necessity to have a license already?  No....not even a car-license.  You basically sign up for training, and they would also cover the car license...if you don't have one.
