[quote]Have you thought of taking any kind of job to hold you over to pay for your traithlon hobby or will you be too busy training?[/quote]
Yes, of course, I'm sending out resumes like mad. I too am putting myself through college at the moment.
One of the frustrating things about living in NYC is that there's such intense competition for every job. So if I apply for a job as a janitor, I'm going up against career janitors. I am a computer consultant and my expertise is in the nonprofit sector- I've spoken on strategic uses of technology at Yale and MIT... but the corporate sector won't touch me since I don't have (expensive) professional certifications.
I remain optimistic about my prospects for the future and am willing and capable to work in a wide variety of fields- the real challenge here is the time crunch. The TNT program kicks off on Saturday, and we're expected to have this stuff ASAP.

Again, it's really an issue of timing. I don't expect to be destitute forever, and am happy to return tire levers/etc as soon as I am able- but the training program just happened to launch at the worst possible moment.
Again, funding cancer research is far more important than donating/loaning surplus gear, and I hope that can remain the focus of this conversation.
