I went and checked out the Applied Behavior Analysis job today - the one that entails working with autistic children. It's in one of those portable buildings behind an elementary school around the corner from my old high school. I observed a couple of different tutors in action. The first one was working with a boy who had articulation problems. The second one was working with a little girl who threw things. Beads, blocks, shoes, & socks flew everywhere. The work seemed a bit repetitive, but I got the feeling that there are few dull moments. The problem, I discovered, is that it doesn't pay much. After union dues, it works out to about eleven dollars an hour. It's also only part time. I'm still deciding whether or not I should apply. I may wait until the beginning of next week before deciding.

Later, I got an e-mail stating that I'd passed the test I took earlier in the week. I have an interview scheduled for the end of the month. This is for an Environmental Education Specialist position, which is exactly the kind of job I want.

Hopefully sometime soon I can get back to writing about something other than this interminable job search.
