Intern to Full Time, what to do?

I’m currently working as an acquisitions intern. They said they would test me out for 2 months and then bring me on full time if they thought I was good. It’s now the 3rd month and they haven’t said anything about it. This is actually a really good position and the work we are doing is exactly what I want to do. I’m getting paid minimum wage and I feel like I’m broke. Cant pay bills. My main concern is they use me for few more months and then let me go. They even recently brought on an analyst who I believe is getting paid. I’m jealous and scared. Do you think I’m overreacting or what should I do?
