this past year a colleague and i quit our paying jobs at an aerospace company to start a new commercial compost company, dirt hugger. quitting during a global recession was a tough decision, but we felt that industry niches can still flourish despite larger trends. we haven't created a new job as yet, but as a two person company we agonize over how best to hire our first employee. it appears with the economy there are abundant opportunities to hire recent college grads looking for experience as interns.
