Now I'm starting to wonder if I really want to...
Pretty soon an opening for a teaching assistant in my school's criminalistics lab will be open. I wasn't going to apply before but now I will. $13/hr, 20 hr/wk, limited medical benefits. It will be worth it for me.

One door closes, another one opens. Go for it. Someone at Disney will suddenly realize they screwed up by not keeping you but it'll be too late.
As you walk out the door for the last time you'll hear the words of John Beluchi in 1942. "Sayonara suckers!"
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Yeah, but let's hope I don't walk into a Japanese sub.
Anyhoo, a few minutes ago I bookmarked a page on the American Academy of Forensic Sciences home page. There are a couple of postings I seem to be qualified for, so tomorrow morning I'm going to make some phone calls.

True, but remember, all the submariners wanted to do was find Hollywood. Everybody wants to be in show business.

Cool!! STG has our own CSI! So, you know, if any cast member finally gets pushed over the edge by a stupid guest, John can investigate how the body wound up at the bottom of the DL Lagoon! :D: ;)

I just sent an application to the DEA as an entry-level chemist. Would finally be a living wage, but depending on where I go (not all the positions I expressed interest in were in California) I may have to quit school before I get my master's degree.

I know that the options in life aren't always as numerous as you might wish, but permit me to urge you to finish your degree now if you can find a way to do so. I felt obliged to go into the workforce without an advanced degree, and returning to university at 34 was more of a challenge than I had expected.
For now, look for a low-stress job that lets you concentrate your energies on your stuides. Even if that's outside the Company.
Much of life is about choosing priorities. Make sure you know what yours are, and take them in order.
At this point in my life, I like to think I have a pretty good idea of what my priorities are. I think I'll go take another nap.
