I am all over the jobs because they are the future of American bonsai. These opportunities need to get spread widely among "bonsai people." Many of these jobs have been, and will continue to be, stepping stones to professional bonsai careers. This is a huge opportunity for someone young looking to make bonsai a career or a substantial side job., or find a doorway to a wider horticultural career.

Join a few things online, like the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, Pacific Bonsai Museum FB pages, as well as the National Bonsai Foundation. Donating to the museum also brings a lot of info that doesn't get as wide distribution as it should.
