About this title

Synopsis

AmeriCorps Memoir about a college girl who starts her first real "job" in California. But it's no ordinary position, it's volunteering with AmeriCorps for minimum wage and she has no idea what's about to happen. Was it worth moving from Michigan to meet her new online boyfriend? Will she be using her college education as a mentor for low-income high school students or will she end up with a weird roommate who plays video games naked in the living room? Suddenly, Jenn realizes what it means to be a real woman and she goes through unexpected twists and turns! While only earning $4 an hour, her financial obstacles are learning how to get government support, food stamps, and any extra money to pay back her student loans from Michigan State University! Nothing can stand in her way, especially with her parents believing she has a job in Hollywood as a Movie Producer!
