[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a great one!  My friend was a paralegal in a small D.C. law firm in the mid 90's.  The administrative manager of that firm actually hired someone through a head hunter (ie: paid a hefty fee) for someone to (get this) look sh*t up on the internet.  I don't know what is more hilarious, the idiot manager or the fact that this girl right out of college was paid about $50k in mid 90's money to do that.  [/quote]

I don't know how old you are, but in the mid nineties the Intenet had only just opened for public use.  There were no search engines like Google.  Yes, firms hired "experts" to help them navigate the Internet.  I don't see anything bullshit about such a job.  What is bullshit is that you have no sense of how pathetic posting this is.  It's like posting that in 1961, your father's firm hired a computer expert to help them with their data punch codes.  Har har har, so funny![/quote]

+1. Google wasn’t founded until 1998 and didn’t catch on right away.  I remember helping people navigate the internet in law school in the mid 90s. It wasn’t like it is now.[/quote]

I was 15 in 1996. Had just immigrated to the US and barely spoke English. Learned how to use a computer and navigate the web in 2 weeks, at the school library, with a 30 min training from the librarian and then on my own. [/quote]
