My Dd just got back from a service trip abroad, went on Craigslist and found an internship with a state non-profit consumer research institute. She had an interview yesterday and they “hired” her on the spot. (The “hired” is in quotation marks, since they admitted that they were out of money, but would love to have her work for free.) She, of course, said “YES”! (LOL), and was planning a strategy for finding PAID employment to supplement this, when… she came dancing into my room this morning hollering that she just got accepted off the waitlist for a 6-week foreign language immersion program (which covers full room, board, tuition, 10 college credits, plus free travel abroad the following summer…)----- so… I guess there are still opportunities to be found out there! (edit: Now when was that girl going to get a job and make some money? :eek: )
