How can I get an internship in Graphic Design?

I'm interested in Graphic Design but I don't have the money for college. I'd like to get an internship, but I don't think I can afford to do a completely un-paid internship. And I'm not sure where to even go to ask about internships. I live in Louisville, KY. There aren't a whole lot of internships that I can find available here. How would I go about getting one and could I ask for some type of pay? I'm self-taught basically and I don't have a ton of confidence in my work, but it's not like I'm drawing stick figures on the computer. I just compare my work to that of major professionals and don't feel that great about it - but I'm not sure if it's good enough for the average job and I'd be just fine. Can anyone offer any help or advice?

How can I get an internship in Graphic Design?
Apply to a local community college that has classes or programs in graphic design. They are pretty cheap, and there are SEVERAL programs that can help you get loans for school. Talk to a loan advisor at the college first to see whats right for you. No matter what your situation or how much money you got, there is always opertunity, just don't let it pass.

Reply:Word of mouth is the best way I've found. Talk to everyone you know about it, and word will get around that you're looking. Chances are, that someone knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone... etc. Good luck!
