Quick shoutout to this post for giving me a false sense of hope that I might get an awesome summer job… before I read that it was April to September. :/
Ah well, such is the life of an out-of-state college student.
(Also I’d like to just give a nod of appreciation for these job postings, my dream is to work in baseball and these at the very least give me an idea of what kinds of things I need to do to get such a job in the future!)
