Internships and Temp Jobs: The A-typical classroom.

Internships and temp jobs can sometimes lead to a job offer, but if nothing else, they can give you valuable experience that can't be learned in the typical classroom. There are some things that you can't simply read about in a text book but must experience first hand to fully comprehend. For instance, you can never truly know what it is like to work in your field, until you have actually worked in your field. You can read about what a typical day  is like, but until you actually walk a day in someone else's shoes you can never truly know for sure. This is an opportunity you can't let pass you by. If you're anything like me, internships and temping can help in determining if this field is really the field for you. Once you know what the job really entails, you may decide that it is the perfect job for you or that it really isn't what you thought it would be. Internships and temping are still considered part of the learning process, just not the part that you normally think about.
