TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I agree with a message someone just posted. This is an intern position. It is super-entry level. For this level of responsibility, it's an appropriate offer. "Here, Bill, go through these 4,000 pages of document and find all instances where the telephone area code says 908 and change it to 732."
Consider the circumstances of the person for this position. Still in school, maybe in the last year a degree, needs work experience to complete the degree. They probably aren't "living" on this position. Maybe they are still living at school or living at home. Anyway, they are already supporting themselves or are being supported. Their friends may be working in a grocery store earning $6per hour.

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for them.
HEY! Are you coming to the NJ TechWriter lunch? So far, about 10
of us are. Ask me about it.
