Been looking for an internship for a while not and applied a bunch. So far, nothing :( Also applied yet again to all sorts of school clubs and they want nothing to do with me either. Mostly because I was not so involved in school stuff before... Exams and due dates for projects are coming fast and i'm stuck with a general sense of apathy right now. Maybe it's just the weather. I have a couple projects lined up for the summer, I hope it works out. It's mostly money-making projects: 1. Make a bunch of monies on airBNB and save up (and maybe get a job on the side?) 2. Set up a company with 1k/month passive income by the end of summer If i get that done, I can finish school next December and GTFO to travel for as long as I want. This whole looking for an internship thing really bummed me out and if there's a chance I can just be self-employed i gotta try and go for it now. So far invested about 300$ in that business and expect to invest another 200 when we launch. I hope it works out, it's really nothing unrealistic.
I applaud you for taking the steps to be self-sufficient and setting up your own business. Regarding "clubs," I have always liked Woody Allens quote: I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.
You'll be fine. Their loss Elizabeth.
Thanks :) I just figured that if I can't get a job that I will enjoy and/or look good on my CV this summer, I might as well just make up that job myself. Worst case, i get a crazy valuable experience and lots of fun for only a couple hundred bucks. Best case, I make a bunch of money. I might still get a job as a waitress or something on the side if I've got some free time tho. Waiting on the shipment from China and setting up the brand registry with Amazon in the meantime. Honestly, the Chinese product is not really want I want to sell but the best way to get rankings are sales and reviews and for that you need to give away a bunch in promotions. Giving away products worth 1$ is something I can afford so i'll start with that and go from there. Anyone want some cheap wooden combs? :P
