How about Clay? (Score 5, Funny)

YES! Finally a job after all those years studying Akkadian! Clay tablets are some of the most durable media I know. At least they have a proven record. Vast numbers of documents illustrating the fascinating world of accounting, esp. Sumerian sheep and goat transactions, is available thanks to the scribal choice of clay (combined with hot arid conditions). Will soon Lockheed HR soon be seeking 8-10 years of prior "Cuneiform/Pictographic" scribal experience? I can also read omens in the entrails of an ox. That can come in handy.
