No I don't. Of course that is the problem when it comes to the background check.

What I heard from my friend is that I can just go to a university and ask to do an independent study. So what I'm gonna do is look for a topic and go to a university and ask them if I can do my research there. But this is plan B.

As far as background checks, I have never had one but my dad has, but he has a DL though.

Well this whole internship thing has me worried. I have had no luck in even getting my phone calls returned, you think they would be more desperate. Well I would most likely hit the streets looking for something that doesn't require that I work with children. Everything I find has to do with children. My sister asked her cop friend about the background check and he said the only requirements are a name and date of birth. I keep hearing all these different things though so when I get a straight answer I will let you guys know.

Does your school have special projects? That is my plan B but it is basically reseach and one big paper. This is something I don't want to do. I imagined myself shadowing counseling sessions. This has just put a damper on my week.
