Though I by no means intend to fan the current fire on this debate, I find myself in a similar predicament; I have an part-time internship beginning in Washington D.C. in September, and plan on getting an additional part-time job while there to help cover expenses.

Most of these sorts of positions in my area seem to staffed by volunteers. Thanks so much, Jen --- Lara Taylor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Ross and Indigo, I wholeheartedly disagree.
