At the time, I felt I had two options: <br /><br />1. Sit at home applying to jobs in front of the television, or <br /><br />2. Go to an internship everyday, learn as much as possible about the industry I hope to break into, network and apply for jobs on the side. Sure enough, my boss put me in touch with a ton of interesting people in the hopes of finding me a job.
