[NABS-L] [nabs-l] reliable transportation for employment and Skype interviews

[Justin Williams]

Without knowing your career plans, mostly when you are going to grad school, it is a little difficult to give great advice, but I'd look on glassdoor.com for jobs from home.  There are other work at home sites. Moving at some point is probably  your overall best bet.

Danielle,


Is there somewhere you could safely walk to? I work part time on my campus this semester, and I can walk it. I know about living in a rural area, it's a big challenge. Good luck.
