There are also editing jobs that don't involve books or magazines. I've posted on this before, but I'm a lawyer and almost every public document I write goes through our editing department, where it's first proofread, then read by non-legal editors, then read by legal editors. It's probably a little different than conventional editing in that I all-too-frequently learn at 5pm that I'll need to revise a document and present the new document by 9am the next day...but I get the impression that they like the challenge, and we really don't have much turnover.
I'm sure that there are other fields that require editors, too.
