I graduated with my B.A. in August 2002 and found a job a few weeks later. I was a researcher with a substance abuse treatment center study at the University. They needed full time people to schedule appointments and perform interviews with the treatment centers. I stayed there a little over 1 year until I moved states for my husband's grad school.

It was a great first job. I got to travel a bit, loved working for the University, and learned a lot of interesting things about substance abuse treatment.
