That really depends on the nonprofit, though. And probably the actual field. Not too many sugar daddies around the youth-service organizations I've worked for.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But there are also ways to be educated that won't leave you in crippling debt.
I was talking with a friend after work; he asked me if I really wanted to stay in publishing, or look for something else. And I mentioned how big the project management aspect of my job really is, and he said that it's fairly easy to get certified as a project manager, and there's always a big need for them at larger companies. Additionally, once I'm officially unemployed, I might qualify for free or subsidized training/education in certain areas.
My roommate who was the first in her immediate family to go to college switched from engineering to business -- there was no way she wasn't going to get a practical degree.
See, as a journalism major, an engineering degree seems to me to be one of the most practical degrees you can possibly get.

Oh yeah, the transition there was that she HATED engineering and had to get out. She could not transfer into liberal arts.

Ah. Got it! (Seriously, I was all "Engineering isn't practical???")

I left out the whole middle of the story!

My friend's husband got his engineering degree, worked as a structural engineer for maybe a year before chucking it and working in film. (He was making films all along.) I'm pretty sure he only finished the degree for his parents.

Any hunk list that places Jason Isaacs as low as 14 is just wrong (or at least has never seen Peter Pan.)

I have a lot of issues with that list! But seriously:
Feel with 100% certainty that if Sergeant Hathaway were real, I would be married to him.

Well they never even mentioned his frequent shirtlessness in Case Histories (which was the only thing that kept it from being completely grim), so she has some issues with priorities.

Juliebird, I'm sorry things are going in a weird direction at work. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that a director of horticulture would have some interest in, say, horticulture.
I started in Bio but switched to English. As I was planning to teach, and it was the 80s, they were equally practical.
