In Reply To: Here's the situation, I haven't graduated yet, I used to intern at this station, and I really want to go back to this place. I love the station and the people are great! It's a pt production assistant job that requires 3 hours of work a day. I know it's a good way of getting my foot in the door, especially since the ND is willing to hire me just for the summer. I have a feeling it would be a great experience, but the pay is so low... especially when I know I could be making more at an upscale department store (which just offered me a job). Plus I'm waiting to hear back from a station nearby about a production assistant job... I guess the issue here at my point in life is what's more important: experience or money? What do y'all think? Anyone care to share their starting out stories?
Message: Since the TV gig is PT, no more than 3 hrs per day, cna't you take both jobs?
