      <![CDATA[OMG I seriously just left that job (only not at Dalkey or any publishing company). Ridiculously long hours for shit pay, crazy bosses who demand something and when it doesn't come out to their ideal (despite that their ideal wasn't even possible) you get yelled at for being stupid, unworthy, <a href="http://whatever.no/" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://whatever.no/" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://whatever.no/" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://whatever.no/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">whatever.No</a></a></a></a> holidays, vacation, or time off allowed. In fact have to be in the office even if there's no work to do just to prove they own you. 5 years I did that and found out (when I took vacation) the minute I finally left the office for a week they put up an ad for my job. Good riddance to that shit.<br />
Sigh.<br />
Thanks for the chance to finally vent a little.

      <![CDATA[@11 - Close, but let me FTFY:<br />
<br />
"Excel in superhuman fashion at doing shit work under shit conditions for (no) pay, and maybe someday you'll (get an entry-level paying gig, but probably not).<br />
<br />
Publishing industry is completely fucked, because they're addicted to interns that they never have to pay, and can discard every six months or so. Occasionally someone who is so utterly over-qualified and so utterly willing to put up with the Worst Industry In The World will come along and turn an internship into a paying gig, but it's so rare you may as well buy a scratch ticket and hope to win enough money to publish your own damn works. As such, 'talent,' such as it is, stagnates with those who already have jobs, and no qualified or talented person who wants to work as an editor or in publishing can do so if they have any fucking bills to pay.

      <![CDATA[I thought all entry-level jobs in publishing were pretty much like this. "Excel in superhuman fashion at doing shit work under shit conditions for shit pay, and maybe someday you'll be an author or editor. Though it's far more likely you'll be doing shit work under shit conditions for shit pay for the rest of your life. But maybe someday you'll be an author or editor!"
