Ironic. I work a job for which I have all the computer skills they didn't know they needed, and none of the extraneous experience that they thought would be relevant to the position, but really isn't. I think of the qualifications employers ask for as more of a wish-list, because the person they are describing is sometimes an impossible superman.

Exactly, Flint. It's an asking price. If they ever do find someone with the specified skills set, I bet they can't afford him/her.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet they end up with a computer geek with just enough biology to understand the domain when it's explained to him/her.
