I want FCP because for some reason, most editing jobs require it.

Huh? How can anyone tell what NLE was used to edit a video timeline?
That doesn't make any sense unless you left something out.

perhaps he means freelance 'jobs'?

Why? If they hand you the raw elements and expect an edited
video file out of it, what is the purpose of specifying which NLE
application is used? If they expect you to work in THEIR shop
on THEIR equipment, then presumably they would *provide*
the NLE application of their preference.

I agree. I can get the job done real quick and efficiently with Newtek
SPeed EDit. I think the
reason is that those offereing the editing jobs want the entire project to
be saved in FCP so that
it can be recalled or re-edited in the future. Also, what if there are
revisions that need to be
done at a later time and they need to have the same program to open it.
All I know is that I MUST
have FCP for certain jobs and will not be considered without it.

If someone came to me and said that they wanted me to edit
a job, but only if I used product-X,

Yet, that is how the entire business works. I know a guy that was a new
camera guy and he said that
if you did not use a Sony, or Panasonic (depending on the union or TV
Station), you could not shoot
for them.

Either way, I am not defending them. I simply want to be considered for
these higher paying edit
jobs that would otherwise exclude me for not using FCP.

Not the "entire business" , mostly the Apple lovers with
"San Fransico values". I have no idea what "saved in FCP"
could mean. I certianly wouldn't accept any work that was
rendered into a format that wasn't a common standard that
I could use, and the format required would be spelled out in
the work order/contract. There is no editing operation, with
any creative function, that would accept restrictions on what
software they can use.

If you contract out some editing, you will specify the format
the edited video will be delivered in, NOT the software used.
If you are contracting the services of a video service to create
a DVD, 30sec spot, movie short, or whatever, from your
supplied video then you are asking for a more creative endevor
that includes editing. In that case you will get a finished product
and a limited ability to have changes/corrections made. You
would not normally have any right to the intermediate products
of the production.
