Abstract: Internships are no longer a rare added bonus for students, but now a standard component of the college experience. A national survey in 2006 found that 84 percent of college students at four-year institutions had completed at least one internship before graduation. It is not hard to understand why so many students pursue these opportunities. Internships offer a myriad of benefits: experience in an organization and industry that gives insight on careers, new skill training, and exposure to a network of professionals in a field of interest. . .
