Yes, the long national nightmare is over! I have real employment, with great people in a wonderful organization!
As a: RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT
(It was capitalized in the job announcement, so I assume that’s how it is usually spelled, OH, AND WHY NOT!)
And it is at:
College Center for Library Automation (CCLA)
