Let me know if you have any suggestions for posts. Amber - The digital PR internship I did last summer after graduating paid $9/hr. It was definitely a reality check that a college degree don't make you entitled to a full-time, salaried job - even if you graduated with honors and a few internship on your resume. At the same time, I like to think that things work out in the long run. It might take time to find a job after college or a summer internship may have to be unpaid, but for me it helped guide me to do want I am happiest doing regardless of pay. Doing something for free is a good way to test how much you like it. Stacey - Thanks! Let me know if you have any suggestions for posts.

I'm a journalism and PR major and most companies/newspapers that were taking on internships before are not anymore, or there not paying. It's hard and scary. I can't imagine how all the grads are feeling this spring.. I’m not graduating this spring but finding an internship has been incredibly difficult.
