How do I balance internships with other higher paying jobs?

I know getting an internship is necessary, but how should I balance that with a high paying former job? I need the work experience of the internship but also the money from the other job. If I don't get a ton of scholarships or grants, I will definitely need the money. Also, should I get a job or side hustle while I am at school?

Can I balance having multiple minors as a freshman in college? How fast can I get an internship with my major?

I am an active senior in high school and I am searching for good ways to study during my time at college. I plan to major in Professional Writing at Cedarville University and minor in Creative Writing. I also enjoy reading, writing short stories, poems, dialogues, (and maybe a book).

How do people actually get started in the computer engineering industry?

I'm a junior computer engineering major starting the job and internship search. A lot of "entry-level" jobs and internships seem to have experience requirements. Does underlining personal projects and certifications really work? What am I supposed to do?

Any advice on internship hunting?

And suddenly, I do not know what I want to do. I am in the IT industry. Everything just feels so difficult and draining. I still do not know what I want to do. I don't have a knack for programming, networking or any other technical concepts. My experience is more on the UI/UX sector but deep in my head, I am not sure if I need confidence or am I just pretending I can do it. I vibe coded a web app for myself and realized...I cannot code without AI not especially the backend + connecting the logic... I am applying for an internship soon next week. I am not sure what role I want to explore but the requirement is something related to IT. In a very fast-paced industry, I am behind. This internship means a lot to me but it is just so hard.

What is a "volunteer internship" And is it any less legit/effective than a position that is just called an "internship"??

Found a grants and fundraising position that's called a "volunteer internship". This confused me, since I have usually seen "volunteer" roles and "internship" roles as separate categories. So what's the difference between a "volunteer internship" and a normal "internship"? Would a "volunteer internship" mean less mentorship, not enough learning experience, etc.? Or, is the only difference between this "volunteer internship" and other normal "internships" that it's a nonprofit organization, and potentially unpaid (it was stated that "a small stipend may be available depending on future funding")? It still seems that I would get helpful experience through this role, since I have no grant writing experience. I also got a pretty quick response to my application (literally same day as I applied), and I only had to submit my resume. Both of these details made me wonder if this would lean more into the "volunteer" side than the "internship" side.

How should I go about getting an internship during college? #fall25

I am going to be a freshman in college coming up and I am concerned about getting internship opportunities. I am going to school to be a chemical engineer, and I am unsure on how to go about internships. Is it better to reach out to companies myself or should I wait until companies get in contact with me?

When looking for internships, how can I stand out from other applicants with skills that may be the bare minimum?

I am studying Computer Application Development at a trade school. I often view postings for open positions that are way out of my skillset. I am worried I have not accomplished enough despite working constantly. I would like my next job to be in industry, but am struggling to find open positions as well.
