I did 135 hour week once as a journalism intern. got fired because I didn’t do 140 (would walk to hotel, sleep 4 hours, wake up, walk back to field office - “wow,” you think, “what war was he covering?” and the answer is the war of an arts festival in northern england).
didn’t go back to journalism after that.
