Believe me, I'd love to. Thing is, though, I can't think of any job that I would actually like doing - any retail job is going to have similar problems to my last job; office work (I was considering a job in data entry) would involve reception duties, and I hate phones...anything else would probably require a level of experience that I don't have. Plus, I live in a small town and driving scares me (possibly because I only recently passed my test), so I don't have many options! I did email Ford a couple of months ago asking about their summer placements in South-East Michigan (I'm doing a mechanical design engineering degree, so it would be relevant), but I never heard back from them. I'm tempted to try again, but now my parents have booked us a family holiday that would be right in the middle of the placement if I did get it (which is unlikely - it's probable they don't take international students), so I'm not sure they'd be too keen.

Maybe I'm just too fussy.
