8. Test Drive Your Dream Job
You know that job you dreamed of having when you were a teenager? Sometimes once you get there you realize it’s not such a dream job after all, it actually kind of sucks. An internship can give you a glimpse into the dream job you always wanted without investing too much time of your career. You can get some real world experience to see if it’s actually everything you wanted and if it’s a right fit for you. And if it’s not, you still have flexibility to embark on the next adventure.

9. Continuing Education
Think of an internship as a way to continue your career education. You’ll learn new skills, perfect your current skill set, and expand your experiences so you’re more prepared to handle whatever may come your way next.
