Good ideas, Susan. I do not envy you your responsibilties but I am in awe of your energy. Genie, you seem to have some really good ideas and a good, professional outlook. May I suggest that you look for jobs in the next step up (moneywise) the gig ladder, retirement communities, condominiums, travel clubs and the like. They tend to pay more for entertainment because, unlike nursing homes, the audience is the customer. If I knew what your act was, I could offer more specific suggestions.
