Keyboarding Occupations

We typically think of occupations related to keyboarding as office personnel such as administrative assistants and/or office managers, etc., however, as we all know this assumption is incorrect! There are several jobs out there today that require proficiency on the keyboard.

Can you list some jobs that require keyboarding skills in order to operate within that specific occupation? For example, motion picture producers and directors must be proficient with the keyboard as much of their daily tasks involve editing film by use of the PC. Please list a few occupations that you are aware of that require proficiency on the keyboard.

Utilize www.google.com to help you locate some jobs if necessary and list the URL(s) that support your response!
