I'd love to get your allowance if it's comparable to my 40hr salary, haha | ||

edit: Although I will add some serious thoughts on your position -- An internship is really what you make of it. Your managers aren't convinced of milking you for your time because they know it doesn't cost anything to keep you there. At my internship, half the people never show up and are never asked to do anything important. The reason I'm in a leadership position is because I got myself involved from the start. With an internship, you can't just take the attitude of I'll do what they tell me when they tell me. You really have to take initiative. Interact with your supervisors, and ask them what you can do to help. Maybe if you get involved a little more, the experience can be more rewarding. More: You'll always start out with menial shit. Depending on the office, if you prove your worth, people will start trusting you with more important stuff. That's the fun part =) I stick by what I said about cheap labor though. I work harder for free than my friends are getting paid $15 an hour for as a Sales Leader at Express. But I love hearing how passionate you are about art. Good luck with that! | ||

I have been working in this law office since June 16, 2002. I began to dislike my job sometime around June 17, 2002. I stuck with it because I was younger and it was decent money. Over six years later I now have my own office (with a window to boot), have worked here longer than everyone else but the owner, always get first choice of hours/vacation days and recently got another of many pay raises. I still dislike my job. I can't wait to get out of it. I am bored at work each day, usually browsing around online for a good portion of it. When I am done with school and get my degree I am getting a job that doesn't have anything to do with law. It just doesn't fit me at all. edit: I've got about 1hr and 30mins to go for the day. I keep clicking on all the forums hoping something new and interesting pops up. It hasn't. | ||

The thing is, people often want the best of everything. In other words, many people would love to do art or writing or something creative or something fun, but they ALSO want the huge salary that goes with things like being a doctor or lawyer... or even the not so huge, but still more than adequate salary that goes with office administration or accounting or... you get the idea. Be artist, but don't be surprised if you don't make much money. Doing something out of love means being willing to do it for little or no money. I resonate strongly with what you are saying. I have NO intention of pursuing a career. I intend to only do part time low-stress low-pay jobs and pursue my interests, which include art, writing, music, and simply being, the rest of the time. I have no problem with not making much money. Poverty is a state of mind. Frugality is great. Simplicity is great. If you can feel alright with a greatly simplified lifestyle, and you can be frugal, I say go for it. If it doesn't work out, at east you know. | ||
