graduate and the master-
mind behind the gingerbread
house.

At a time when other
young people her age are
finding it hard to get work of
any kind, Jane holds a full-
time job at the Novaco Day
Care Centre. Jane doesn't
work for peanuts — she
works for nothing. That's
right, for 40. plus hours a
week Jane willingly subjects
herself to the mind-numbing
task of caring for 25 active
pre-schoolers. A job many
wouldn't do for ‘love nor
money’, Jane does solely for
love — and for the ex-
perience.

Before investing years in
training for her chosen
vocation, Jane decided to
make sure that working with
children was indeed where
her future lay. Not only is
she. now confident of her
choice, Jane also is gaining
the all-important experience
that will give her an ad-
vantage over other would be
pre-school teachers in future
job-hunting. After working
at Novaco for a year, Jane
