I have no idea what salary you need but my daughter just graduated as well and got a position with Americorps for 9 months. The great thing is that the living wage although very modest by our standards will see her through, she can also work another job part-time and she gets a student loan stipend of nearly $5000 at the end of her contract year to be applied to her loan debt. You may not find EXACTLY something in your field but you begin to work and make connections and get into bulletin boards etc. that may help. Also, if you haven't yet, check idealist.org for ops in your area. I know you want to stay in Ithaca but what if you could do an internship in say Costa Rica and live down there for 3-4 months? I'd say that would be better than another winter in IThaca. BUt then I live in Albuquerque :)
Good luck! Been down this road with my kids four times now and it has always worked out.

You become. It takes a long time. Thats why it doesnt often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and shabby. But these things dont matter at all, because once you are Real you cant be ugly, except to people who dont understand. -- Margery Williams (The Velveteen Rabbit) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
