Edit/Update [June 17th, 4:42pm]: According to the SEC website there has been an abundance of applicants and therefore they are no longer accepting submissions. This is good news; well done!
The April 2010 BP oil spill is like a very dark and greasy nightmare for the American people. The only thing is, it is not simply a bad dream, it is the sad reality.
Many citizens from the Midwest, geographically removed from the effects of the leak, have taken to praying, blogging, and reporting on this oily disaster as that is all they can offer from their homes.
Fortunately for those people that are willing and able to temporarily relocate in order to better serve the Gulf Coast victims (animals included), Shamrock Environmental Corporation (SEC) is able to shuttle away. They will pay for Ann Arbor residents to fly to one of the U.S. cities affected by the spill and offer them a temporary job, with good pay, room and board.
According to the mission statement on the website, "Shamrock Environmental Corporation is dedicated to providing quality environmental waste solutions management for our clients rapidly, completely and in full regulatory compliance. Sound ethical practices and state-of-the-art equipment are the tools of our experienced professionals."
