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.  I
was wondering whether anyone would have suggestions on
where to apply to get a part time job in an
arts/cultural related organization?  Most of these
sorts of positions in my area seem to staffed by
volunteers.  Thanks so much,

Jen
