I work, but they do not pay me…

Since school is off and it is summer, I have seen lots of young students starting to work in new jobs and use this summer effectively and fill it with productive ideas instead of sitting home and get bored then complaining about life. Some are continuing their work and others started working for the first time in their life and they have no experience, those who don’t have experience are the most passionate individuals because they are eager to try something new and learn new things and get some experience, and I can tell I was one of them few years ago.

                Dear reader you might say this is not very interesting, because everyone can get a job and get paid for it. I tell you, true, but what if I and my friends work and for almost six hours a day for three months without getting paid and we are happy about it? What we do might be crazy for some, and specially for the elder generation like our parents and they might say why you want to work all this time and without getting paid? Why would you bother yourself, and they might even call us stupid and call it a useless job since we are not paid for it.

                Let me tell you what we do is not a useless job; actually it’s called an internship. Now am sure you are asking yourself what that is, and why some youth are doing it. To explain it simply, an internship is working in a company, NGO, media or any other place for a period of time without getting paid, to gain experience and you will be called as an intern then after completing the period of working you will get a certificate as a reward. This certificate will be very useful when you graduate from university and when you apply for a real job. To be an intern will add a very positive point to your resume or your CV.

Sweet reader, an internship is a volunteering work and you will get so many advantages out of it, so do not think inside the box, be open-minded and try to use this summer to learn new things and who knows maybe through experiencing an internship you will find what you are really passionate about.

p.s : Through my internship now i am more sure than i was before about what i am passionate about  :) :)
