    Ad council? Congrats man, I know some people who would kill for an internship there.

    And your gig sounds almost identical to mine, except I'm in journalism.

    But yeah, 10 an hour for internship isn't bad at all .

    We can always send you to some far off land as an indentured servant until you pay off your debt. Maybe grow indigo in Georgie.

    My college's job placement and internship programs were a joke. I did my own, and the lady in charge told me "cold letters will never work". When I scored my jobs, I made an appointment and shoved it in her face.

    The best thing about income is when you have some ridiculous expense come out of nowhere ($600 new car radiator plz), and post-terror, you realize that it won't financially cripple you at all.

    This is an amazing experience for me, this thing I've heard called "financial solvency".

    I am interviewing for a job with StatOil Hydro. This is the second interview. The first one was back in April. They called me last week and were like "Hello, would you care to come back for a second interview?" and I was like "Nothing to lose. I mean, yes. It would be a pleasure."

    I need to think before I speak on the phone.

    I like having income so I can buy name brand shit, like the good toilet paper and really good cuts of meat instead of that sand paper like stuff and the 73% ground Meef crap to make dubious meals like Hamburger helper for a buck.

    i like making a fairly big purchase, like a laptop or a ps3 and games, and being able to pay it all off in the same month when i charge it instead of letting debt accrue. man, my credit card got beat up during college.

    I was in an asian supermarket the other day and i'm looking at stuff in the meat section and there's all kinds of cuts and then a stack of what looks like diced beef cubes simply labeled "MEATS"

    My first year of teaching ended, I'm currently on Summer break. I THOUGHT I had a job lined up, but that fell through.

    Now i am in a bit of a pickle, finding a job is difficult because they no that I will leave at the end of August. I have saved money, of course, but I would rather not be broke by the time my first paycheck rolls around again.

    i still don't have a credit card. i know i should get one, since my credit is nil right now, but knowing that i have nothing in my account and no way to get around that (i have a debit card) has saved me from some unnecessary spending.
