Do you think internships are beneficial to college students, why or why not?

I think they are beneficial just so people get the experience hopefully that they will have and use in their field someday. So instead of working at a bunch of random jobs that don’t actually apply to your major, they’re actually getting the experience they need.

Have you applied to any internships yourself, and if not do you plan to in the future?

I have not applied to any internships myself. It’s a little hard with being an education major because school is out during the summer when I would primarily need an internship. I am going to apply to some summer camps this summer, but they’re not necessarily internships. I’m just taking any opportunity I can get to work with kids.

What does an ideal internship look like to you?

An ideal internship is paid first because it would honestly be too hard not to get paid while working full time and working with kids in the age group I want to work with in the future, so primarily high schoolers.
