If you stopped working, could you get financial aid from your school to help you scrape-by?

Something I still need to look into. But another piece to the puzzle that I didn't mention is that there is a Promotions Director position open at my school's station that I've put in for and am pretty confident I can land that will pay $ for each semester I do it, and is really an easy gig, only requiring a couple hours a week. It could also reward with tuition waiver.

If the internship didn't turn into a paid gig, could you get a position similar to your current job?

I have enough administrative experience that, with a good resume, I could get and hold a decent office job. But honestly, I'd like to distance myself from that. It's time for me to change tracks, and I see a good opening into the field that I'm aspiring to.

The internship is a great investment for the long term, but perhaps you'd feel more comfortable if you devised a "plan B" that gives you a sense of well-being should the need arise.

At this point, my plan B is still in the works, but I'm going to figure out a strategy to fall back on before it's crunch time. The fact of it is that I can't not find some kind of an alternative, so I'll do what I must to keep things relatively on track. It's time to move on.

And just to follow-up on one detail, met with the HR rep today: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: on any kind of schedule shifting.
