The 20SomethingRoast Podcast: Career Strategy for 20Somethings


Should 20Somethings be doing internships?

July 01, 2014

Could you imagine working 35 hours a week in an industry you loved and never getting paid?

Many people do it everyday. It's called an internship. The internship has been around forever as an opportunity to teach eager young people how an industry operates day in and day out. But are internships getting out of hand? 

I'm going to be so honest with you that I won't even tease you with the answer forcing you to listen the podcast first. I'm just going to just tell you, yes, internships have gotten WAY out of hand.

Between the lack of pay, poor educational opportunities and actually having to work for free, it's terrible that companies are using internships in replacement of paying workers. 

So in this episode of The 20SomethingRoast Podcast Show you will learn:

The major reason why internships are popping up more than ever
How you can avoid being sucked into an internships trap
The only industries you really should consider doing an internship

Plus, Swim shares a quick story about doing an internship with a financial conseling non-profit and the unreal tasks he had to do. You will enjoy laughing at what he quickly discovered.
