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.
- cortesoft 10y agoYou can also just walk away from a job?
- pmiller2 10y agoThe key phrase is "no strings attached." You don't have to worry about burning any bridges at the end of an internship.
- wcrichton 10y agoFor 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.
