Thanks for reading and for the feedback. If you want to make an early entrance onto the microfinance scene, be sure to check out the Microfinance Gateway's job site at http://microfinancegateway.org/content/jobs/ It contains postings ranging from volunteer and internship positions up through fund directors. And even if you're not quite qualified for that senior associate slot, reading the job requirements and descriptions can help give you a sense of the routes you might consider taking to get there a few years hence.
