An internship with you will be an education that one can actually claim work experience for. Better than many degree programs I would bet.<br />Jxjoaniehttp://ninimakes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717280258281445444.post-1830344791453932222012-05-20T19:24:08.596-04:002012-05-20T19:24:08.596-04:00thanks for your commentsthanks for your commentsarounnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378082055209814309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717280258281445444.post-48210485143605744402012-05-18T08:25:45.056-04:002012-05-18T08:25:45.056-04:00if only I lived close

That said, many do understand that an internship is truly a give and take relationship. Good internship experiences lead to both sides feeling fulfilled and rewarded in the end.<br /><br />I have had many internship and volunteer experiences, and I've seen both kinds (good and bad). But good internships are out there, and the experience can most definitely be invaluable as Arounna says.<br /><br />It sounds as though the internship opportunity at bookhou is a good one. Six hours a week is not abusive, and there are a host of experiences offered which look to benefit both parties.Amnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717280258281445444.post-14309144826038184322012-05-17T11:36:53.003-04:002012-05-17T11:36:53.003-04:00I will love be more next to do that.

I think often people are more willing to share and show and tell because you are volunteering and they want to make it worth your while as well. I do hope young people don't forget this - that it's part of growing up and learning. I wish I could intern for you - I can't imagine what skills and knowledge and just general inspiration you would pass on.elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717280258281445444.post-49523341915024748102012-05-17T06:19:26.309-04:002012-05-17T06:19:26.309-04:00i totally agree with you

I decided to volunteer at a printmaking studio as a teacher. This became a paid job after a year. Invaluable training. My daughter is 23 and started volunteering at a well known radio station here in the UK. She did this alongside working towards her University degree. After 5 months the radio station offered her a full time job with the flexibility to finish her degree. (it is the strangest thing by the way to hear her voice on the radio whilst driving to work!). My 18 year old son is training to be a chef. He also started an unpaid job in a hip cafe in town. 2 weeks ago they offered him a 22 hour per week paid job. He still attends college 4 days a week! I believe volunteering/internships are a real investment in a future and play a role as "free" education. I totally agree with you!
