Laura Schaefer, a romantic with an appreciation for history, has found near-perfect work. She writes history textbooks and standardized tests for Learning Express and other publishers. She writes 500-word advice columns for Match.com, an online dating site.
The 25-year-old (a UW-Madison communication arts grad) also has found a way to combine these passions: She has researched the history of personal ads and written a book that compiles some of the most distinctive to ever be written.
