 No Pay? Many Interns Say, "No Problem"

                 - Jennifer Halperin

Halperin talks about unpaid college internship and opportunities the students receives through college credit exchange program. She mentions there is an interesting debate among people on unpaid internship. Yet it doesn't dissuade students from applying to the internship program. The inductively structured essay is concluded after bringing series of reviews on the topic.

According to Halperin the factors that make internships attractive to college students and recent graduates are:

                 Internship gives them opportunity to get an exposure to professional world

                  It offers them to gain useful professional skills and experience.

She is surprised  by the results because paid internships don't always attract the most candidates. On the contrary, the location and intern duties play a large role in luring students to apply.

Halperin notices a common theme in her discussions with recent and about to be graduates. They prefer internship in any case. Intern with paid incentives are better yet unpaid internships were also beneficial if they offered real- world, practical experiences. They take unpaid internships as an important lesson.

According to this essay, internships can be limited. Its accessibility gets limited among them who have the financial support from someone else to survive them.

The survey revealed that internships are worthy trends for the interns because of the real-world experience and skill. Interns can grow the connections and networks which can lead them to promising jobs eventually. They can learn unlearned skills from the classroom. 

However, internship can cause work load which they may not be able to afford. Many offices can be unloading the burden of the employers without giving interns proper guidance. Likewise there is always a possibility for them being given some menial tasks. 

Halperin wrote this essay to survey on the perspectives of internship among the students. She wanted to find out the impact and views on paid and unpaid internship since it was a topic of debate. 

Her position in this essay is to showcase the value of internship and perspectives of interns. She completely asserts that its a choice of intern to find a worth in working in any office regardless of any financial benefits. 

The intended audience for this essay are those people who are making statement against unpaid internship. 

I think her job of internship coordinator might have influenced her point of view on this subject. She has brought more of a positive aspects of internship. She hasn't mentioned them who might have negative feedback.
