Vagabunda goes corporate

Ok, so I'm not actually going corporate....just searching for a job.

I have been getting some e-mails from people wondering where I am.SO.....I am currently stationed at my family home in Philadelphia. After a long semester in Brooklyn, I finally graduated after 4 long years abroad. But after writing a thesis and having all of my hair fall out due to stress and dengue related illness (I guess all of your hair falls out a couple months after having dengue...what a fun surprise that was), I needed a couple months to recuperate and be taken care of by my mom (she cooks delicious meals, what can I say?).

Now I am searching for a job. The past couple of summers I have relied on archaeology jobs to earn my traveling bean money, but this summer the beans just aren't sprouting. I had a potential job offer in New England which fell through (still a little upset about that), and contacted my old co-workers, most of whom are also hard up for work. I thought that this "economic crisis" wasn't going to hit dirt diggers, but I thought wrong. I am gauging the severity of shovel bum job loss by a post on shovelbums.org's job listings. There was a post for a project in Philadelphia, and hearsay suggested that they needed about 30 field techs. A couple days ago the company re-posted asking people to please stop sending in their resumes, as they had received over 500. I think this is cause for a little bit of alarm. My resume is competing with over 500, probably more qualified applicants.

So, I have moved on to bigger and better, or maybe just different things.
Ultimately, I want to help people, I want to works towards making this planet more habitable, I want to work towards humans being happier and less hungry.
SO, I am making a call out to my readers....Anybody got a job out there for a young, idealistic woman???

P.S. I will try to write some more. I am sort of just wallowing in a hole in the USA, not doing too much traveling, so I have been lacking passion for writing about my passion....traveling.
