I worked in retail out at the mall, I was radio station manager for my college station (as well as a DJ), plus worked at an area radio station. That does not even get into Union Board and all that other bullshit I had to do for free because of the station budgets, and b.s.. I also managed to fit in some internships, unpaid, in the summer months.

I was working like 60 hours a week, plus 18 hours per semester (required), trying to handle my car, credit card, and other living expenses. Sure, it was not so enjoyable, and I can remember a lot of booze or partying when I actually did have a few hours to my self.

However, it can be done. You simply have to make a sacrifice.
Hard core. I bar backed for about 5 hours a night 3 nights a week and worked the door at a titty bar a couple of nights a week. Funny, I always had money for beer but could never afford food.
