I'm just going to put this up there, since I'm rapidly learning to treat myself as a commodity (academia: cons, you're an indentured servant. pros, no dealing with the labor market). And hey, you never know. Plus, I seem to have rubbed elbows with at least a couple folks on here already doing what I'd like to do, at least -ish.
I am looking for a job.
I want to change careers out of academia, into political or NGO work, preferably foreign-policy/human-rights oriented. I am willing to start at the bottom (much as it pains me to run into students and have them say - "hey, I applied for that too!"). I have IT skills, but I'd rather not use them. I am willing to do grey, but not black ops.

thanks for the friend offer. i feel all flattered & what not
and i understand the tension/pain between "socially conscious" and "academic" -- i know i've been through it & most of my friends have been. some of us come down one way, some the other. it's a rough choice .... and i have heard from my NGO type friends that things are a bit lean right now. really, best of luck!!! i'm sure you'll get something ..
you've heard of idealist.org i'm sure right?
