Enjoying Your College Internship

By Violet Williams

Enjoying a part-time job while in college is something many people do not get the chance to experience. So many people hate their jobs and dread getting up every morning to go to work and put in another day's work. If a student can find an engaging and exciting job that allows them freedom to work around their schedule and to grow as young men and women at the same time, they should grab it as soon as they can.

Many see a college internship as a means to make money and earn some extra spending money so that they can enjoy themselves a little bit on the weekends. While this is important, as students should enjoy themselves and nobody should become a robot while in college, there is another aspect of an internship that can benefit the student for years. Real world experience is very important in a college internship and finding one that allows you the freedom to set your own hours and manage your own team and manage one's finances will give you that extra experience which can be an edge when interviewing once you graduate.

A college internship that provides all of these things is invaluable, as many consist of filing papers, entering numbers into a computer, taking phone calls, getting coffee and other mundane office jobs. While some consider this minimal expose to office life and the working world valuable, there are other opportunities that may not follow the same traditional path as one is used to, but can be even more valuable and teach the intern a great deal more than these other, usual opportunities.
