The Truth About Jobs and Internships

Since the original internship seminar I was supposed to attend Thursday had been canceled, I attended this one instead.

The whole session was basically a question and answer session where the Yale overachievers got their questions answered about that beloved New York Times internship.

The main point of this session was this:

Internships are important and give non-experienced undergrads the opportunity to get real life experience, which is something employers look for when hiring new employers.

Also, sometimes you need to start small. Getting a paid summer reporter job at a small local paper not only gives you experience, but a paycheck as well. Some of the fellow overachievers missed that point.
