I was a recruiter for about 8 months, which job entailed going from college campus to college in the Carolins, Kentucky and Tennessee for a week at a time. I came "home" Friday afternoons for the weekend, when I could do laundry and get ready for the next trip. The other job was running "stagings," the 3-day orientation sessions for trainees just prior to their departure. They were held in major gatewway cities: Miami, DC, Philadelphia, San Francisco.<br /><br />I enjoyed jobs for a total of about 2 years, then they got old. It's ideal for somebody who's young, relatively rootless, and healthy (lots of rich restaurant food and tons o' booze--that's the fun part of being on the road) and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. But I sure wouldn't do it again, either.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.com
