Nancy Jeffrey from the Wall Street Journal writes:

I am doing a story on people in their 30s and older who are doing internships typically done by college students, perhaps as a result of the poor economy -- maybe they got laid off and now this is the best they can do in the current job market, or maybe they are trying to change careers or any other reason. Would you know anyone in that situation? Could you ask around friends, acquaintances, colleagues or contacts who might relate? I am trying to speak to people as soon as possible.

Feel free to pass this e-mail on to anyone you think might be know something about this subject. I can be reached at 917-510-2818 (w) or nancy.jeffrey@...
