    They need to look at themselves if they cant fill the program with a full roster of clients & staff
    The good thingsThe meaning and joy you bring to clients
    The challengeseverything such as you have to drag them kicking and screaming so you can speak to person in charge of the program you want to work in as if someone who isn't there can be useful in that regard then when you get there they just cut down your work
