Employers do not want to engage students because they
do not have special experience. Therefore, students wonder where they have to
receive such necessary experience.
Today many of companies offer internships for
students. The main problem is that internships are usually unpaid. Should
students spend their time on preparation for the real job, but without wage?
Anya Kamenetz in her article "Take this internship and shove it" said
that internship is only simulation, but not a real practice. Moreover, she
explained disadvantages of unpaid internship and made it clear that students
can only waste their time during internships. I do not agree with her position.
In my opinion it is essential to apply for internships
because you will find out a lot of useful things at the time of your practice.
Of course your success depends on your efforts so it is absolutely ok if you
work free. You need to work for skills but not for money. Jennifer Halperin in
her article "No pay? Many interns say,'No problem'" wrote about
advantages of unpaid internship. She mentioned experiences of students and
there was a very interesting phrase "unpaid internships are worth it
because you are building experience and contacts".
The main goal of internships is to gain experience and
professional skills.
