I would kill to be an intern. Good pay, fun projects, and everyone has to be nice to me.

  For me, the best feature of an internship is that you can simply walk away at the end, no strings attached. If you want to explore working a particular industry but don't want to commit to a full-time job, an internship gives you great exposure not just to the company but to the area. I took an internship in finance just to see what it was like, and although I wouldn't work on financial products full time, it was a great eye-opening experience.

    You can also just walk away from a job?

      The key phrase is "no strings attached." You don't have to worry about burning any bridges at the end of an internship.

      For sure, but there's generally an expectation that you'll stay at a job longer than three months. It's harder to take the "sample platter" approach to full time jobs.
