Hey guys,
Kinda off-topic question here but I need some advice. I have been in an IT Internship for the past year, I absolutely love it. When I began it was discussed there was no set end date like some internships had...and their would be a potential for a hire in opportunity when I graduate.
The only bad thing is in the school months my hours go down to 15 hours to focus more on school. But I love working in IT so much I want to keep learning, keep gaining experience so when I do graduate I won't just have a degree listed but also real-world experience in different environments.
I like to keep my eye on what is happening around my area in the IT field and recently there was an unpaid internship listing for a local developmental services center for children in the community who have disabilities or who are not achieving developmental milestones.
I think the position is a great opportunity to help others and build experience at the same time, as this position will allow me to work independently serving the facility. Would you guys take the position if you were in my shoes or are unpaid internships something to stay away from for fear of being taken advantage of?
If I do accept the position I will keep my current internship as well because the hours at the developmental services facility are flexible to my schedule and when I can come in. Sorry for the long read, appreciate any thoughts.
