Came across this site while stumbling today. I don’t really understand what all they do, but reading about some of the projects it seems like a cool field to be in. Check them out at waigeo.com. The slope stability stuff sounds crazy, there is a road they worked on that has moved 20 feet since the 1950′s! Damn!

A good friend is in the process of becoming a nurse and wondered about travel nursing opportunities out there. I did some digging and found a couple of pages I’ll share here.
