And it can be hard to say we turned down a job just because it didn't feel right. Yet so often that instinct/conscience, if we ignore it, is proven right in the end.

While they are education focused, I saw nothing in the company that was an asset or resource to the community or the populations it serves. I had no real respect for the work the company does or any desire to help it succeed. I must truly care about my work and have only found that in the non-profit organizations I've worked with. Unfortunately, I'm trapped in a county with few opportunities for an idealist like me (much less one that doesn't really want to work at all, hehe).
