> I'd just like to know what a career that really needs 2+ pages looks like.

It's not my student's career that takes up two pages; that's just the first page. It's what I can actually do that takes up a second page (skills, major software products I'm familiar with and projects). Education, work experience, internships and info like phone number and email address are on the first page.

The point is, you should be able to remove the parts that are not relevant to the job you are applying for. I keep a long resume that is verbose and then edit it down to a page before applying for a job. Focus on what the hiring manager is looking for.
