This presents a big problem for me. If I'm not getting paid (I doubt paid internships get paid well either) I won't be able to get one during the summer. I'm going to have to get an internship during the school year which seems like I'll be putting a lot on my plate. However, I'm not completely hopeless. I've talked to two graduates who did many internships while they were taking classes (see my most current Simpsonian article). It's hard work but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.Victoria Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631040928166178462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-9869131114240081142010-12-08T06:38:45.779-08:002010-12-08T06:38:45.779-08:00I've been hearing a lot of conversation about ...I've been hearing a lot of conversation about the same topic, and now I am getting really concerned about it. It is certainly stressful to think that even getting a good internship can be quite a challenge nowadays. <br /><br />The worst part: I imagine it is difficult to stay financially prosperous with unpaid internships, which are usually the most available.<br /><br />However, I must say that I the challenge. It makes me want to work harder everyday.Alejandro Caballerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467034509923911404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-63352341883027643232010-12-07T20:28:39.442-08:002010-12-07T20:28:39.442-08:00Very true!
It's so hard to find an actual job...Very true!<br /><br />It's so hard to find an actual job in a variety of fields. Yes, there are a lot of opportunities out there, but by and large, it's all about the internships. And they aren't paid either!<br /><br />Right now, (for me anyway) college students NEED that financial support. Any internship that I look at, I always ask if it's paid...& that's a pretty big decision maker for me as far as whether or not I pursue it. It just goes to show you that the market is tough altogether, and no matter what, it's gonna be a dog fight. That's why it's important to know what you're looking for, and to have the skills employers are looking for, so you can distinguish yourself for that awesome job opportunity. <br /><br />{See more in my post for this week} :)Erin Guzmánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463238378792472930noreply@blogger.com
