Chicago Summer Internships

[barackmyworld]

Hey everyone, I need something to do this summer. I am going to apply to intern for Obama, but so will every young democrat in the universe. What other cool political/non-political internship opportunities do you know of in Chicago? I am kind of in love with G-rod...maybe I could work for him. I don't really care if it's unpaid, although money is always good.

I live in the city, so something downtown/cta accessible would be best.

1. why stay in Chicago?

As you said everyone in the known universe (it is rumored even a few republicans) will be applying to work in Obama's office. What about Capitol Hill internships. I dunno what year you are, but if you want to work in politics - hill experience during college is KEY.

Think about it, Ive known several kids who interned in DC from Chicago - ironically all of them were republican. Im going out on a limb here and guessing you are not.

2. money

DC is really, really expensive. I can get a partial grant from school, but it won't be enough. I also miss the city. I spent my last summer here in boston, so I want to be home!
