Alternative Jobs

Have been tossing around ideas for some different ways to help folks find jobs in a very depressed job market. Perhaps by posting really cool ideas we might be able to help each other out.
I ran across an interesting article about KIPP schools when looking into educational resources for the bratboy. I had no idea these schools even existed and am thrilled they do. For both a parent in the public school system, lower economic range and for teachers looking to make a real difference, check out this site. I wish all public schools would adopt the practices that have shown such amazing results.

When I read about the KIPP schools, I found out that they are sponsored in great part by the Gates foundation. Having heard a great interview with Bill Gates on NPR not too long ago and the work the foundation is doing globally, I thought about looking at their site. The have a job search for positions within the foundation. Good pay and benefits ( including matching funds to charitable organizations) doing good work across the globe.
