Chapter 10~ Quick Response

“Arrange internships for students” (178). Participating in learning outside the school is a great way to gain invaluable experience and knowledge.

What better way to learn than to get involved in a field that interests you? By students getting involved with internships they gain experience in areas of interest to them and possibly make contacts that will be useful to them upon entering the job field. An internship is also a great way to discover whether an area of interest is right for you. Perhaps through working in a pharmacy, a student decides this is not the route she wants to follow; then she can put her focus elsewhere when applying for colleges and deciding majors. Internships are valuable for both narrowing down which areas would be best to pursue in college and which are not of interest at all. This could potentially save a lot of headaches in the future, and help to direct and motivate students in work and in school.
