the first two posts

How humorous - I didn't realize that you had posted yet, Claire - but our topics kind of relate in interesting ways!

So I think this makes it clear that this is a big topic - especially for our generation. Profit vs. Non-profit. Volunteer vs. paid.

I think a lot of us are wondering, why are there only the two options?

This paradigm isn't working for our generation. We are faced with the desire to be of use to those around us, to contribute to our community and to our world. But we are also often weighed down with enormous education debt, or perhaps just unable to find positions open in the field that we chose due to the older generations staying in the workforce longer, and the sheer masses of our generation that are educated.

What are the other options? And that, my friend, is the topic for this blog.
