Put on a Stipend

A friend of mine, recently retired wanted to rest for a while but then he was offered a monthly stipend beginning today to draw up a course proposal for a language teaching framework. So, he has to put on his thinking cap once more to do battle with concepts and proposal writing.

He talked to me about this project and the other offers that he has been sounded. The first one was to be an administrator in a trust company. He believes the company wanted him to capitalise upon his network which they thought was a mother lode. The second offer was to run a Training for Trainers Course for a recruitment and student placement agency. Both the latter offers did not sound solid and may take time to gel.

So he took on this job which they will be paying him a stipend until the real job comes along sometime in August.

Well, at least that will keep him gainfully occupied.
