I want to do a summer internship in NYC.
It would ideally have to do with theatre, but, if not, maybe advertising (though I imagine that would be more difficult, and, also, I don't know if I would want an advertising internship enough to work towards an internship there... though I probably would, but one that combines theatre and advertising/marketing would be ideal).
I would look for something related to casting, talent agencies, Broadway.com, The Broadway League, theatres in general...
And most of those internships, even the paid ones, don't cover living expenses, so maybe this is such a stretch, but what if I commuted from, like New Jersey? Honestly, that would be so much work to, like, rent an apartment or something for a summer.
This probably couldn't logistically work out, and I would use my own money to do it, which is kind of stupid and probably not going to happen, because I don't know if I should use lots of money to do an NYC internship, but I feel like if I can get a good internship there, it would be worth the money. Also, I don't know know how much I'm going to get financial support from my parents after I graduate, and I might kind of need so save my money for when I have less of that.
Or I should do the internship the summer after I graduate? ...no, I want to work towards an actual job out of graduation.
I'll wait on this. I need to make sure I still have an interest in doing this. And if I do it, I would need time to raise money. I'm not going to make, like, an Indiegogo or ask for sponsorship. Honestly, I don't really like when people do that, like, when they go on a trip and ask for sponsorship. If it's a mission trip, I get that, but if it's something like drum corps (which my brother did), I feel like, if you don't have the money, don't go. Asking other people for money in return for basically nothing would make me feel obligated to give something in return for each and every one of them. That's why, back when I was working towards a camera, I earned my own money for it. Cause if my parents bought it for me and I accidentally let something happen to it, I would feel really bad, because it was a gift. Also, I don't really have interest in expecting other people to give up money for an ambition that I decided to go for.
So I guess there are certain things that are okay to ask for sponsorship for, but I wouldn't do it for an internship in NYC.
We'll see. It would probably be the summer right before senior year, if I go. That means... in, like, two years. Two and a half. Let's go.
