FAQ
QUESTION: What kinds of experience, paid or unpaid, would you encourage for anybody pursuing a career in this field?
ANSWER: The Rhine Institute summer training program in Durham, NC (www.rhine.org) is a great way to meet real parapsychologists and get a grounding in the field. I think the Institute of Noetic Science in Petaluma, CA (www.noetic.org) also has workshops and may have some kind of internships. It would let you meet parapsychologists Dean Radin and Marilyn Schlitz. You might also want to go to one of the Parapsychological Association (www.parapsych.org) meetings. These would let you get a better sense of the field, learn what's "hot" and new in the field, and allow you to meet (and pick the brains of) real parapsychologists.
