Should I quit my job for this?

unpaid interns.
Plenty of hands on experience will be provided in
direct sales/webstore orders and shipping, website maintenance,

relations, and general office management.

office, so interns will be directly involved and get a real feel for
how a record label runs on a variety of levels.
Candidates should be reliable and motivated, and able to work
independently and multi-task.
Experience in HTML, Photoshop, Final
Cut, and Quark are a plus.
General computer savvy and competence is a

This is an unpaid
internship though school credit is possible if coordinated
successfully by potential candidate.
