Have you wondered why we are inundated with psychic readers on television? We are on the Dish and the psychic's advertisings are infuriating. Following is the reason for it.

NEW YORK (AP) - So you want to be a psychic? No problem. New York City is recruiting welfare recipients to work from home as telephone clairvoyants. And for those who aren't gifted with prophetic powers, the city offers job training. The effort began last April and has led to 15 people on welfare being hired by a company called Psychic
Network, said a spokeswoman for the city's Human Resources Administration. What does it take to be a telephone soothsayer? A recruitment flier says qualified applicants must be on public assistance, have "a caring and compassionate personality" and the ability "to read, write and speak English." Self-described psychics were unhappy by the city's effort. See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563704663-bc8
