In Reply To: I graduated 2 years ago w/a double major in sociology and communications. I had a sales asst. position at a large publication, but I quit b/c not only did I have a horrible manager, but the job was insulting. I felt as I wasn't challenged enough, and I hated the fact that I was helping make money for a woman I despised. I want to get into public policy/non- profit arena. I want something that is intellectually stimulating, as well as purposeful. However, I feel as though no organization will hire me b/c I don't have any experience in these fields. Does anyone have any advice?
Message: Dear anon: Advice: instead of assuming, ask 'em! Or how about volunteering to do a project & show them how great you are? Stop shutting yourself down before you get started. Best wishes, Jane
