Would you camp out... for a job!?

Over the weekend in Queens, NY hundreds of people camped out on the streets in the rain, in hopes of getting a job through a union elevator repair company.  The company gave out 750 applications to the prospective hopefuls. 
I know the economy is bad, and being unemployed myself I can understand the dire need or having a job.  I'm not sure if I would go to such great lengths like camping out in the streets, but I definitely can relate to these people.  I hope most of them get jobs and I wish them luck in their job search endeavors.
