I have a college student who might be a perfect fit for this type of position, but as I clicked through the FAQ section, my jaw dropped. <br />The expectation that a college student can dedicate full time hours for *nothing* is over the top. <br />Obama was once a strapped for cash college student- tuition here is going up 20% due to budgetary hard times. That does not include the cost of books & housing. $6000 tuition will now be $7200, and that is for IN STATE/resident costs... out of state non resident is probably double that. <br /><br />One of the FAQ's asks can I still hold a paying job while volunteering?<br /><br />The answer was - As long as it does not disrupt your 40 hour a week commitment. <br /><br />I know we are in tough financial times, but this is too much to ask of volunteers.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
