The worst internship in the world

This is an actual e-mail I received from my career center. And you wonder why people complain about the career center at the School of Public Policy

Students, Please read below and see attached for information regarding a great opportunity in Liberia.

WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD???? START IN LIBERIA SCOTT FAMILY LIBERIA FELLOWSHIP ♦ ONE YEAR IN LIBERIA ♦ WORK DIRECTLY FOR SENIOR CABINET OFFICIALS ♦ EVERYTHING FROM SPEECH WRITING TO RESEARCH/ANALYSIS TO POLICY PAPERS ♦ SALARY OF $35,000 PLUS HOUSING ALLOWANCE & BENEFITS

Are they crazy? Everyone knows there's no such thing as "a great opportunity" in Liberia. Ah, yes, change the world by working with the Liberian government. African governments are often praised for being beyond reproach when it comes to corruption. Why isn't it this easy to work for the US?

Will you please forward the contact information for that internship ASAP? It looks like just the opportunity I've been looking for.

Thank you,
