The bolding is as it appears in the original advertisement.

Can you get a sense of the condescending tone of this?? They are less trying to sell this crappy job then put pathologists down by not being "outstanding" enough. Its NC for the love of god not Hermosa Beach! They should be lucky native English speakers (of course who are likely not the mainstay of the interest they likely get) would even read the whole ad!! And whats the salary you ask? I would imagine if you even inquired about it, they would get upset because you are supposed to working for the "love of the game"! Of course if that love can pad their bottom line, so be it.

UNC, I call an ENRON on you!
