A Personal Request

This is in no way Hughesnet related.

I am in desperate need of a job. I've been unemployed since July 31 and we are living off my daughter Joy's SSDI-- a whopping $900 per month! People are amazed at how frugally we live. A 99 cent soda at the gas station? Too rich for my blood!

I am an aspiring professor of African and African American history. Not many jobs anywhere in the world. But I also have extensive experience in student services, both tutoring in English/writing and in working on behalf of students. I would be very happy doing that!

I also have extensive experience in research, writing, and editing. I love editing! I edit you guys all the time (in my mind), lol!

I'm willing to move almost anywhere in the world 🌎, although the good ole USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ would be my first choice. This is because my adult daughter, Joy, has a severe mental illness and can access excellent care and medication via Medicare and Medicaid.

If any of you know or hear about a job, I'd very much appreciate it if you could pass it along! The Titanic is sinking out here! THANKS!!!! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

    Might be an extreme move, but there's a relatively brand new museum in DC, specifically designed for your specialty.

    Might want to apply and see what happens.
