Internships

I apply to so many different internships/volunteer opportunities/etc. that sometimes it's hard to keep track.. but I do remember the Lollapalooza one which would be so awesome to do.

Also, when I apply to intern or work at a record label- whenever that is- I think I don't want to start off with Major labels. That sounds backward, but this is just my opinion that those in the major record labels have been in the business for years and it's ALL about the money. I think that like, for indie record labels, more of the music- since it IS indie- is a bigger factor. That's really not the only reason at all because it could definitely not be true. I like a lot of music these days from labels like Drive-Thru Records, Tooth & Nail, and others. I think it's important to actually believe in, support, and understand the type of music that I would be working for.

I also don't want to end up working for a huge corporation (which who knows, I could end up happily doing that) because eventually I want to start/co-start my own company. I'm not exactly sure what kind, and hopefully I can start more than one unique organization, not necessarily all related to music or the music industry either.
