I always thought that most internships were part time, so you could still work a reasonable number of paid hours somewhere if you wanted, without being terribly over-extended.

I agree, and think teachers should be paid more, period, but that's another thread.
Most of my friends who had internships worked 40 hours/week and either had other part-time jobs to make $$, lived off student loans or had their parents helping them out. I was lucky and able to use my on-campus job for my internship one summer. I worked around 40 hours/week and got paid my normal hourly wage (which wasn't much).
