HELP!!!!!: job/internship question
I have an opportunity to take a really great internship working with the Gay Games that will be coming to Cleveland in 2014 through a sports commission in cleveland.
The internship would be 40 hours a week for [at least] 4 months- with the possibility to stay on longer.
I'll also have a bunch of other opportunity to assist with coordinating other sports related events in the area and meet/network with a BUNCH of people in the industry.
The downfall? It's $200 a MONTH! {?!???!}
I don't know what to do... My living expenses and whatnot are covered, and Jason's jobs are covering the car payment and student loans. So do I take it? Take it and tell them I will continue to search for a more full-time gig or until they can offer me something? Turn it down all together?
Re: HELP!!!!!: job/internship question
Personally I wouldn't do it.
$200/4 weeks/40 hrs = $1.25/hr. My time is worth more than that to me even if there are opportunities that may come from this.
If it were a part time internship I guess that would be something (20 hrs and work part time somewhere else 20 hrs).

If you would benefit/ learn/ network/ or find interest in it... I don't see a reason not to besides money. I'm not the best at those decision though- I was in Americorps and received that much per month as a living stipend. Do jobs in your field of interest randomly pop up or are they on a school schedule (aka start in the fall)?
Do you have anything else going on right now? Could you have a second job on weekends if need be to make some additional money?
Can you tutor kids? I believe you used to tutor some of the athletes, right? I know tutoring is a huge money-maker (at least in the Boston area). My sister tutors after school and she makes $75/ hr.
Jobs do pop up now and again {and much more frequently here than in PA} so there's always something opening.
I really don't have anything else going on at the moment and could get a second job tutoring at the same place JP does now. His tutoring company normally requests 12 hours of availability to offer students/clients but it's not always used. Maybe I'll look into that a few nights a week and on weekends.
