Internships, Experience or Labor?

          Most students in today's society have a general intelligence of their career, but to know the experience is absent. Students spend 2 or more plus years in college to attain their degree and that requires much time and patience. So I would not assume anybody would want to waste time on such an investment to have it turn bitter? Internships provides students with that first hand experience that they would not know until they began their career. The internship process opens up many doors because even if it is not relative to your career there are still connections that can be established. For example, I am an English major, but I want to grab any internships in business because I would enjoy that background, connections, and experience. An internship does not have to always be for a resume from what I hear in my experience because it can actually open your eyes to a different path that was made only by making this decision.
          The labor that is enforced is either paid or unpaid but that should be the reason to not do it. An internship is truly what you can take out of it because after all it is your time. Although internships are known to just be petty labor, this is not always the case. Regardless, work ethic is very hard to come by and the drive to work in the youth is a blessing for the future. Internships may be seen by many connotations, but one thing for certain is that it provides an incentive for your future.
