Mod post

This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.

If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

Yeah, there are a lot of really good schools in my area, so I never saw the purpose of going to the dorms. I've also never taken out student loans - though I'm going to need to, soon. (I had a scholarship my first 3 semesters back that paid for half.) At least they won't be too huge.

Yeah, that's how it works. I think during the recession, back when they extended everyone's unemployment, they also gave some extra relief for new grads that didn't find a job right away. But, things went back to normal, so if you don't find a job... *shrugs* I bet L&Z was a paid internship. They probably made some really good money. All the internships I've had were paid. And, other students I've known who interned/were interning, they were usually paid. (Unpaid internships exist, but they usually don't lead to jobs that I know of.)

Ah right. I hear internship, I think unpaid. Otherwise it;s a temp job that might lead to something permanent. Maybe it's different in the legal profession, or maybe that's just my perception of it. I remember internships in general got a lot of bad press a few years ago here because companies were using them as unpaid labor in order to save money, then getting rid of them and taking on someone else after a few months. I don't actually know anyone who's ever done one though, so I know nothing about it.

Wow. I guess there were some instances of that in the U.S., but never came across it in my personal experience. But, yeah, I think our avocados were making pretty decent money. At least more than they'd ever seen. Otherwise, another firm would have nabbed them. What makes interns attractive is that they don't have to commit to them. Or pay benefits, for that matter, probably. *shrugs* But, they're still an investment - training has to go into them. That, and I'm sure they want talent. :)
