trying to hire new emplyees

So what is it with people these days. the ad is very clear as to what the job entails, where it is and what the pay range is. So it is a shipping/rec job with arehouse work. yet i keep getting resumes for computer techs. no where in the ad does it say you will have to touch a computer.

now on to the interviews. i get questions like ' when is the air going to be installed in the warehouse?', 'where are the OSHA required cranes to move the products ? (these are 10-20 lb boxes)', and then the best is 'i want $50k (or more)to do this job' it is an entry level job not management, not doing anything crazy, pull this, ship that, and pack the other thing. it is a very easy job.

but then again what should i think. people no longer want to get their hands dirty, they all want a desk job at an enormous sum of money instead of working their way up the food chain. seriously people have some very distorted views of work, money and their worth. i am guessing this problem is more previlent then most think.
