Hi Courtney, a big "me too" over here - I'm not looking for work in the US or Europe where most of the positions are (not really looking for work at all), but I love to see the type of jobs that are going. I like to ask myself "could I do that job?" - a brief mental holiday in the middle of an otherwise busy day.
