????Even if you're working a just-pay-the-bills job, you can spend time outside the grind freelancing or otherwise trying to dabble in your desired field. Lauren Berger, who now runs the website InternQueen.com, always had part-time jobs during college, in part to support the 15 unpaid internships she took. She did several internships in the entertainment industry, and after college, was able to make a few calls and get a job at the Creative Artists Agency in a few weeks. Even working for free "definitely got me off the couch and got me thinking like a professional," she says. "I was challenged in a way I'd never been challenged inside the classroom."
