it would appear the clock has turned back to the 1930s
unpaid ojt
remember all the hating on unions for the last 40 years
union jobs the only jobs who don't play this game
Thanks for the advice guys, reading more on the site has certainly made me realize it would be in my best interest to find one before I graduate. I'm sure I can shift around enough during the summer to be able to get one
Internships paired with all the academic research you're doing with the PhD students and professors in colleges are the best ways to learn about your field and make sure you're getting a solid college education. The classes are not all that important in terms of learning... just for the grades.
im doing work study that has a bit to do with my major (IT). i plan on doing an unpaid internship in the summer back where i came from in VA next summer then return here for school. any and all internships are of value.
As for the unpaid internships I know there is some grumble about them being legal and what not. But if the only way to gain relevant experience in your field is the unpaid internship, then you might have to go unpaid.
So currently I'm going to school full time, two days a week and working full time to pay bills and pay for school. International business major. I'm wondering, between my already limited free time, if applying for a semester internship would be worth the time. Is it valuable enough to future companies to try and get that experience?
Back in the day they called it co-op.
I did 2 semesters. The company asked me to stay another term.
I had one last class and graduated during that last term and the company asked me to stay on as a new hire.
It's not only valuable real world experience that you can put on a resume but can also lead to a job.
Many a co-op that I trained ended up getting hired one, two and three years after they co-op'd at my company.
Thanks everybody, definitely something I'll look into for next semester.
