What’s your opinion about ” Working for free” being discussed in this episode?
The advantage of the internships, for example:
First, the internships help us to experience social life in advance.
Second, I spend most time to study and learn a lot of knowledge, but I confuse what kind of job I should apply after my graduation. Through the functional internship, maybe I can figure out the direction to pursue my career.
Third, through the internship, I can learn the professional knowledge and practical skills those are not carried out properly during the school days.
In my opinion, the internship can help me to get first-hand look at what it is like to work in the real world. Whether the internships are paid or unpaid, I should keep a positive attitude all the time.
