Career advice? I've been offered a fellowship with the Education Pioneers.
For ten months (starting in Sept), I'd be embedded with a school district, charter, or gov't agency to do statistics and other statistical planning. I need to reply to them by next Friday, and I'd appreciate people pointing out questions they think I should ask/weight in my own decisionmaking. Please take a second to think unprimed, before I share some of my own thoughts below.
I'm currently working for less than minimum wage in a journalism internship that ends June 1. I strongly prefer to stay in Washington D.C. (as this would allow me to do) since most of the people I care most about live here. I like using statistics to help people who are frightened of them, which it sounds like this would allow me to do. I do really like writing, so I want to end up with enough leisure time to still do some freelancing and continue to write every day for my blog (hence not being interested in jobs that take over your life).

What's so good about DC unless you are a politics junkie?
You know the drill - If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
And, while this is an accidental exception, future open threads should start on Mondays until further notice.
