College Internship - Taking an Unpaid Position

By Vickie Faria

As a college student, you probably lead a very busy life. You probably are not only dealing with the stress of passing your classes with satisfactory grades, but also with gaining job experience that will help you land a high paying job after college.

One way to gain job experience that can help you land a great job after you graduate from college is to complete an internship college. The dilemma that many students face when choosing a college internship however, is whether to take a paid or unpaid position. If you are the typical college student, you probably do not have much money in savings and need a job to sustain your life style. If this is your situation, you may have to work another job in addition to your internship college if your internship is an unpaid position.

You may be wondering if it will even be worth your time to complete an unpaid college internship if you will have to work another job just to sustain yourself. The answer to this question lies basically in the type of internship college that you are considering completing. If the unpaid position you are considering completing has a great reputation for equipping students for their careers, it may be worth your time and effort to accept the position. However, if the position does not have a strong reputation, or you know little about it, you might want to do more research before accepting the job. Remember, if you decide that an unpaid position is not the right choice for you, there are probably many paid positions that will be better options for your situation.
