Am I nuts or does basically nobody meet the requirements of so many jobs
these days?  I'd be interested to hear if anybody here meets all the
requirements for this one.. I'll write them out in a better format.

I must say... if I had a strong grasp on all of that, I really don't think I
would be willing to work for $75K.  Make it $120K and we could talk.  Sure,
a lot of this stuff is the kind of stuff you could pick up rather quickly
for a job, given a little bit of training... but does anybody really come
into a position meeting all this criteria?

Am I the only one who thinks these job requirements are a bit nutso? 
:-)
