Had a business lunch with my boss to talk about the new company, because they're splitting. I have been offered a job that will start in April. The details as far as how compensation will be has not been worked out yet, but it seems like I will be getting a base salary as an Office PA and then freelanced based hourly/day rates for the various projects I’ll be working on. So if I go on set as a production assistance, the rate will be different from an editing project I may be doing for a different client. Seems like as of now, benefits will not be included, but I can still be covered under my parents’ insurance, so that’s fine. I will feel more at ease once I know how much I’ll be expecting to make though. Regardless, the fact that I have a job even before I graduate, in the film industry in NYC is great! I’ve got a foot in the door already. It’s a new company that’s starting up, so I get to see what it takes to start up a small business, which is essentially what I plan on doing in the future. The experience this internship has already given me and will continue to provide for me is beyond amazing. The job already starts this weekend with setting up the new FTP server, e-mail addresses and template designing for the new website.
It's funny to think that a few months ago, I may have not made this call for an internship had I still been in a relationship. At that time I chose to become a domesticated housewife, putting my passion for film and technology aside. To be honest, the break up was mortifying, but that was the kick I needed to pursue my career, because I realized, that's real stability in life. So a word of advice to everyone, follow your passion and worry about your own well-being before settling down and taking another person's burden into your life.
