What are your professional goals?

[aishah]

my goals have changed somewhat i'm hoping to get an apprenticeship at the acupuncture clinic where i volunteer, and eventually work there. if i'm able to finish an apprenticeship there and get a job i would have a pretty stable working class income plus the potential for retirement...and it would be more money than i've ever made per year in my life, in an environment i love, helping people who need access to low cost health care, with a schedule that works pretty well with my access needs/disabilities.

i'm also working with some friends to potentially open up a youth center here, and i would continue doing community organizing and consulting and speaking and stuff on the side (and possibly continue doing sex work on the side too). but i love the community i am with at the acupuncture clinic and that's much more stable, plus i really enjoy it.
