[QUOTE=gardentraveler] I’ve been following this thread, **LOUNE** , without having any ideas until now… Can they hold the internship position for a few months while you find out more about the possibilities in your current job? Seems like it would be good for you to know a little more about your current employer before moving on to something else… GT [/QUOTE] This is true. I hadn’t thought about asking if they could hold off on the internship. I suppose it’d be a year until the program started back up again and one assumes that would be enough time to figure out if I’m going anywhere with this. Anyone know of any high-paying, high-risk, high-reward jobs? I don’t feel much stress and love getting blamed for everything. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Well, I’d be just damned silly if I didn’t at least check it out, no? [/QUOTE] I Emailed you a contact for the Cerebral Palsy Association of Middlesex County. There are at least three openings for Asst. managers. 2 weeks Vacations first year, good benefits and the Asst. Managers probably start at $26k maybe higher. Asst. Managers usually work Evenings and 1 day on the weekends but 13 holidays. If you work on the Holiday, you get time and half plus another day off.
