Anyone have this "bird careers" book?

It's called The Companion Bird Lover's Guide to Careers, and I'm curious to see how good it is! I've read a couple good reviews, but when I contacted the author, she said that it's been out of print for years!

It's written by Paula Fitzsimmons, if that helps at all.

I'm trying to find a career for me involving parrots that pays decently but doesn't require 8 years of college like an avian vet does.
