Who Needs Internships These Days?
Posted on | August 17, 2009 | No Comments
Well, according to recent information there are a lot of people vying for internships these days and they are not all part of the college crowd. It seems that unpaid internships are just as competitive as the paid ones as more and more out of work professionals are trying to get started in new positions or find a way to remake themselves for alternative industries by doing unpaid internships.
I can see this as a viable option if you are wondering if your skill set will translate to another industry or if you want to make sure you will enjoy working in another field before diving headlong into the process of finding a new job there. I do feel for the kids and adults that are in their last year of college and they need the internship to graduate and for the new graduates coming out of college looking to start their careers. Of course, you can always start your own company or go to work on straight commission. Both are hard roads to travel but can be very worth it down the road.
