Okay I have a question; what exactly is data entry work? How does one get into it? Is it an actual profession, meaning something you do for the rest of your life, or is it simply a stepping stone on the road to bigger and better things? I can't say I know anyone who went to college to study data entry, a four year college or a community college. But, I mean people do it obviously; there are now entire companies devoted solely to providing this service.
Data entry work; it sounds almost depressing though doesn't it. I mean is it really anything more than that, data entry? The name seems pretty self explanatory. So basically I picture some poor person sitting in one of 100 cubicles in a big square room hunched over a computer. Of course the chair is not that comfortable; because what office chair ever is? The poor person at the desk also has on very thick glasses because their vision has deteriorated so much from staring at endless sheets of papers just to change their focus to a bright computer screen, and their hands have turned into claws from so much typing. Of course the most frustrating thing about the job is that it never ends. There is no goal to be reached; no last page in the stack of papers, because when you finish the stack there is simply another one underneath it. There is always more data to be entered.
I know lots of people do this but I think the lack of a goal in itself would drive me crazy. I am the type of person that has to work towards something and without a goal I tend to get frustrated and a little crazy. Isn't that why they say postal workers go crazy? I am surprised data entry workers do not have the same reputation.
