6 months later... I have acquired enough work to classify (sorta) as EMPLOYED.  How did I do it, you may ask?  Well, I have three jobs :)
Job 1 is in Cedar City at a Skilled Nursing Facility with the elderly, Job 2 is in St. George (almost an hour commute each way) in homes working with children and families in Early Intervention, and the latest addition is Job 3.  I am training to be a ski instructor at Brian Head Resort!  YAY!!! Including commute, I will begin working at least 5 days a week now!
