25.6 - Dakimel's task: Internship or Summer School? -
1) On-the-job Training – Read a book with a main character learning how to do a new job (either via an internship or because she has just started.) The new job must be an important part of the story. REQUIRED: State the new job or internship when you post.

The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II - The book opens with women from all over the country arriving at the newly built town of Oak Ridge to work in a top-secret government factory; by policy, all were given only enough information and training to do their jobs, and no one knew the whole of Oak Ridge's true purpose. Approved on the help thread here.

2) Braaaains -The internship is at a brain-imaging lab. How cool is that? Read a book from the first 300 titles on the Best Zombies Books list (i.e., the first 3 pages). Important: Ensure that the book you choose meets all SRC rules. REQUIRED: State on which page your book can be found when you post.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is #38 on the list, on the first page.
