        True, I'd recommend that if possible you co-op that way you 
get valuable experience ffor the job market and you find if what your 
training for is what you expected. If it is then go ahead otherwise, 
try something else while you still can.

        True, you must be very careful with finding the proper 
attendant. I too have been left in a bad situation but fortunately had 
a good support group to help me at times. I too brefer women 
attendants, I tried 3 men all were gay they never harmed me but for 
other reasons I had to let them go. I've had mixed success with women 
when I didn't have good commuication. One of the gay men ripped me off 
but I got most everything back.  He had someone return the stolen 
stuff the next day. I was pissed, I found out where he lived and I was 
ready to get some of my brothers red neck friends and start exacting 
my own payment but everything calmed down when everything was 
returned.

        You can never have enough information. Interview on neutral 
ground NOT AT YOUR PLACE! Agencies are not always that great either.
