OMG I want this job.

Damn shame it's unlikely to be there when I graduate. But I almost feel like pestering them to create an intern position for me as an assistant to whoever does this for when I am available.

Technically speaking--and speaking of technicals--I'm not quite qualified for it, yet, and won't be when I graduate, either. But I think this is the kind of thing I want to do in the near future. I'm not sure where I'll start when I'm done with school--and I may take some time off for that whole spawning thing--but at least I have an eventual goal in mind, and I think it's a reasonable one, given my background and current skillset.

This is, of course, just a "job" goal. This is something I think I could easily reach within five years. On a long-term career goal level, I want to do a lot more in terms of writing than a position like this would allow for. But this is the kind of thing I can do to earn a paycheck while I'm working that direction.

I'd really prefer to start on a proofreading/factcheck track, rather than a reporting one, since I detest reporting so much. But since I'm more limited by geography than skills, I'll probably just go for whatever entry-level position I can get at the places I want to work. I'll probably try for another internship, too.

It may sound funny to those of you who have had "jobs" for a long time, but it really tickles me to see an actual job listing that I'm close to being qualified for that isn't just biological office equipment or other meaningless, low-pay drone stuff.

ETA: Heh. I'm clearly not qualified for it if I can't even properly close my tags. Sheesh.
