that's fine with me and I'm just sad to see that one would offer unpaid internship in exchange of "something to put in your resume" or "it's a learning experience". I can only hope that it will change in the future.

In business it is a great way to get your foot in the door. Also a good way to test a career choice. I did it and don't regret it for a second. I recommend it to everyone. Cool if you don't agree but I personally see alot of benefits that can be worth more than money in the long run.

Thank you Jillio. Hopefully after some phone calls tomorrow I'll have a clearer picture of where I'm actually at. I just don't want to do it in the middle of the emotions and end up doing something extremely stupid. As much as I hate to, I'm probably going to have to go into debt a bit as I plan to find a way to go to school full time while somehow managing to move out of my parents house. I know they would NEVER NEVER NEVER approve me returning to school full-time. There's a HOOGE waiting list for income based housing in the city where I want to go, so the move may not take place for a while. Until then I can try to find work in the city that is more conducive than the farm and not as wild schedule wise as Walmart. (I learned their scheduling is unpredictable).

You are wise not to make any rash decisions or moves while the emotions are running high. Just want you to know that I'll be there if you need me.

Cool. Is it manual or electric? My dad had on old Royal manual typewriter that he used for years. I remember teaching him how to use an electric typewriter that could erase mistakes easily. He thought that was amazing. :D

Its manual, my dad didn't take care of it, he left in the rain etc. I spotted it outside, and asked him if I can have it. He gave it to me after, I said. Its worth a lot of money its an antique. I googled for tips on restoration and I am looking forward to it.
I bet your dad was like cool when you taught him the electric typewriter. Now, with computer its more like magic lol

It wasn't about money.

I bet even you wouldn't offer unpaid internship.

Yeah, he loved electric typewriters. It produced professional looking correspondence. Later he got some type of word-processor from WalMart. I don't know how much he liked that because I was living in another state and we didn't talk about it much.

What is it about? A token stipend so your intern gets "something"?

I had no commute, that was worth something.

I am thinking I just got a much needed pep-talk on FB from friends. Tomorrow I'm going to make some phone calls and figure out where my DD and I are going to go. I've decided I can't take this anymore and my DD doesn't need to see anymore of it. I've decided this has been just as bad as living with my ex-husband. I've been cut down demoralized and discouraged and I've lost my 'can do' and turned into a blubbering wimp. I just hope I don't get cold feet about this and back down.
