From the article: Why Students Should Consider Doing One or More Internships
Internships are a way to get the relevant work experience that employers value when interviewing applicants for open positions. Learning about the internship experiences of other students who previously interned at places like the NBA, Digg.com, The National Sculpture Society, and the U.S. Coast Guard, etc., will give you a better sense of the types of opportunities that are available.
If you have completed one or more internships, please feel free to share the good, the bad, and the ugly about your internship and what you valued most about the overall experience.
