Default So is this a bad idea?

I'm a major in communications and i'm going to be graduating college in December of '08. My G.P.A. has never been truly stellar (2.8-3.0) and unfortunately I could never commit to a job full time enough to get enough experience as supervisor or manager.

So I have the interview for the ERAC internship on monday. I know it's going to be grueling and I know i'll only be making $8 an hour and working 50-60 hours a week. But my plan is this: Work my ass for them, keep my mouth shut, suck up and kiss ass and even see if I can work during next semester as well. Do everything I can as well as I can, go out and have beer, suck up and play the good ol boy network. Even let them believe that I want to work full time after college.

Hopefuly, if i'm doing well, i wanna be able to suck a letter of recomendation (say its for grad school or something) or at least get some awards or something to show I did well there.

And then, start handing e-mailing applications (rather than posting them on line) to other places and show them my experience and try to snag a job as soon as I graduate and leave that hell hole.

But is it possible to do this? I know its good expereince and I don't mind putting in the work for less than a year and to put it in my resume and I do want to go into sales but how likely is it to get a letter of recommendation? Is it likely that this internship won't help me at all?

Or should I juts do my other possible intern and do campaign work for a local independent party and hope that pays off well too?
