Internship

Internship is a part of education of many students, for example it is required to work in a hospital for a month in summer if you study at a medical university. Undoubtly, it is a very useful experience. However, this job is usually not-paid, and some students feel disappointed as they have to waste their time on it.
Despite it, as I know, in some European countries (and in the USA) students work for free not only when they have to do it, but they also search such jobs on their one. For Russians, it may seem quite strange, as you can do just the same thing and earn money. But, either the job is paid or not-paid, it is surely a helpful pastime for future career on the grounds that for any good job you are required to have "working experience", and there are very few modes of getting it. This one is the easiest.
What about Anya Kamenetz's and Jennifer Halperin's texts, I'd like to say that Halperin's opinion seems to be more close to reality, although some points mentioned in the first text must also be taken in consider. All in all, these articles are interesting and useful for us, students.
