Hi Sue,

It's Julie Jansen, on of the Cancer and Careers coaches. It's a little tough for me to respond to your question without knowing what you have done work-wise in the past o what your skills are. If you can write again and give us more information about this, it would be helpful.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you decide what skills you have that you can use in a job. Whether it is administrative skills, writing, tutoring, fundraising, etc. you definitely can do most things on a part-time basis these days while you go to school. Start scanning the job boards to see what kinds of jobs interest you and then try to reach out to people you know to find professionals who do the kind of work you want to do. Ask them for other contacts so that you can reach out to them for information and to find out about openings.

I hope you write back with a little more info so that I can personalize my answer much more for you.

Good luck!

Julie
