Princess I hate to give her more advice as it isn't my business and she seems to be receiving a ton of it, so I hesitate to say things like you did. Many of the things you say are true but I would think that she knows that.

However I do believe in helping with some ideas. The one I forgot to mention is that when I was in L.A. I used to make about 200 to 300 bucks per month for about 5 hours work doing what we all consider the ultimate job, being in focus groups for the airline and hotel industry. Somehow I got on a list and they would call me about 2X a month, I don't think they wanted me any more than that because I would call them and ask for any opportunities and they would say, sorry you have been here two times this month. Anyway, some examples of focus groups were the naming of Econ + for UA before they came out with E+, Hilton was asking how to improve their Honors program, WN on areas of improvement and I could go on and on. I don't know how you would go find them, b/c I can't find one in the DC area. But if you can its EASY and FUN to do and its only about 5 hours a month. Plus you get dinner.
