http://digitalartscorps.org/taxonomy/term/821/0 en http://digitalartscorps.org/node/1012 <p>I've completed over half of my VISTA year, and it has certainly been a challenge. While I've enjoyed my position and the type of work I'm doing I've been facing a rather difficult dilemma. No matter how hard I work we all make the same amount. I know everyone struggles with the income a VISTA makes. So I know many of you are feeling the pinch. Working so hard and for many hours and having so little monetary reward is a slap in the face when you can't support yourself. This experience has defiantly made me a stronger person, but it has really tested what I'm made of.<br /> I've also reached the point of questioning if the struggles are really worth the effort. And I've come to the conclusion that I'm not working a "job" but building a future career. Which will be much more rewarding in the long run. I'm just wondering if other VISTA's face this dilemma as well? I know the people that we help appreciate the jobs we do.</p> http://digitalartscorps.org/node/1012#comments challenges learning making do Tue, 31 Jul 2007 20:29:04 +0000 Elisha Durrant 1012 at http://digitalartscorps.org
