Anyone in Washington State?
Hey guys, I got a summer job opportunity in Washington State this summer. I'll be there around the 23rd of June. Any of you guys going to be there for summer? I thought it'd be a great chance for me to meet some of my cyberfriends.
So what do you guys think? |

I have been there, and the forests are very lovely.
 What kind of job do you have?

 About my job, I will be distributing educational books and software door-to-door. It's a sort of deal offered by a company called the Southwestern company. I buy their products at retail price and the profit I make is the difference between retail price and wholesale price. The whole thing is about building character: working on your own in an unfamiliar place, facing a lot of rejections, etc... I'm really looking forward to it. Quote:

 And the answer is YES, IT IS. http://forum.rickross.com/viewtopic....03a66c11ef701f http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwestern_Company http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/davidmetc...ry/never_quit/ I strongly urge you to look into other options. Brainstorm with the people here. Decide what you want...Travel? Team building? Income? College credit? There are all sorts of reputable organizations that can help you get those, without signing into a business that is RIFE with the exploitation of students. Even if this company is marginally better than some others (and I don't know that that is true) it's like, if you will pardon the analogy, finding a whorehouse to work in with fewer health code violations. The job is still the same. http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/...01199061804400
