It is not difficult finding potential candidates for the position of on-site field representative in Nicaragua, which calls for a person with sophisticated skills willing to volunteer, they said. The non-profit organization Berkshire Amistad started in 1985 ran an ad in the Peace Corps Newsletter and said they received many inquiries. Many candidates, however, turn the job down because of its compensation, which consists of money for living expenses and use of office space and a vehicle, they said. Many candidates, faced with student loan debt, say they would like to take the job but can't afford to, 29 August 2002
