QUOTE (Oasis @ May 19 2008, 08:03 PM)  For some reason I thought you followed Dean's career path and ended up writing for Rivals or Scout I had the opportunity to do that, but my dumbass decided to go for the job with health insurance. I have literally regretted that decision every day since. |

Damn that sucks. You can't try applying for a position there again?

Not really... basically I worked with two guys who owned a Rivals.com 'franchise' (for lack of a better term), they offered me the opportunity to come on staff on a full-time basis. They've since brought on three or four part-time guys to fill that role, so joining back up with them really isn't a viable option at the moment. |

Not sure if it'll carry much weight though --------------------   |

just be sure you don't get stuck in some hellhole like ethiopia or something....
yeah it's sad what they're doing over there but be fucking sane and help people who WANT help -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

i believe you can pick the region where you wanna go, but not the exact country.

From what I understand, you can talk about it with your Peace Corps advisor (or whatever they're called) and see if you can work something out... but generally you're toast if you decline an invitation. As long as you specify on your app where you don't want to go, you should be fine. If you indicate that you definitely don't want to serve in Africa, they aren't going to invite you to work in Benin or whatever. |
