We are in desperate need of an internship (paid by US!) with night time after 6 pm hours for a 19 year old as a 2nd job to help pay for college. Looking for a placement in the Highland or New Paltz area! She is not picky in what she does, just wants to make money! She is a very hard worker and really motivated. She also has reliable transportation. Please call Shannon at (845) 331-7080 ext 153.

What an inspirational story of success and it just goes to show that school may not be for everyone, but you can still achieve a lot if you work hard enough!!

“I work at a machine tool automation company. We build the machines that build the cars. High school wasn’t for me. I didn’t respond well to being lectured and having things jammed into my brain. So I started out sweeping floors at the factory, then I got moved into the saw shop, and now I do electrical installation. I’m up to $17 an hour now. And I’ve started studying PLC so I can move up even further. There’s actually a lot of opportunity in my field. There's not much competition. Nobody my age wants to do this stuff. They all want to go to art school or make video games or something. I think maybe it’s because too many people are being told to do whatever they want. Because no matter what you think you can be, there’s still gotta be people like me.”

Those things you learned outside of class might have been more useful than you thought.
