The internship is over and they weren't real supportive as far as doing outside stuff. I was seen as too ambitious or assertive even if I stayed glue to the desk most of the time. Because I met some contention in the first semester and was a good intern they let me stay a second semester under a different shift and different assignment editor who seemed nice but wasn't real helpful so they looked at my desire to break away from the assignment desk negatively despite being told that I would only be on the desk a month when I first hired as an intern. So, I'd rather exercise other options which is hard since I live in a top ten market. |

If you are truly ambitious, as you said, then you needed to seek out the information before you did an internship at a large market station. The university types, for the most part, seem clueless about this. Smaller market stations need all the help they can get, and those are the best places to learn, whether you intern there or find a first job there doing whatever you can to get your foot in the door.
Sometimes there are smaller markets with easy driving distance of top tens, and that's where you need to look for an opportunity if you can't afford to move out of home.
